I've been able to get a copy of a document showing monetary amounts
that were to be remitted to the Jews in Balta Ghetto, from the Odessa
Oblast Archives - with a line item concerning money due to my
grandmother, Ettel Schmatnik.

 According to this link in JewishGen:
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Holocaust/0121_Balta-Ghetto.html

"The Jews in Transnistria were promised a daily wage in the form of
food and money, but in practice received no pay at all for their work
until late of 1943."

I take this to mean that the amount listed was supposed to be paid to
my grandmother Ettel Schmatnik, in exchange for her labor.

I'm searching through the 'black book' pdf and it looks like Balta is
the county where the town of Bershad is- where other relatives of mine
were held. A few facts I found in this pdf:

--Thanks to the greed of Capt. Ambrus, the commander of the Balta
gendarme legion, a part of the Jews who had been deported according to
an order of the Supreme General Staff and closed into a barns, were
freed and allowed to move into the town because each family paid
60,000 lei.

--Jews of Bershad were sent to work at the cloth factory in Balta.
--There was a 'Balta labor battalion'

Does anyone have good resources on the work done by Jews in the Balta ghetto?

On a related note, I see, Edgar, that you posted several clips -
interviews with survivors of the area that are on youtube - wonderful.
