My own experience with Yuri in 2006 was quite positive. We agreed upon the
price of two graves including one stone that had to be newly made. I paid
half of it in advance and the second half after receiving the photos of the
job done. From last year's visit of friends I know they are OK. Yuri speaks
German and French and might be of help to those who don't speak English.
As to Mrs. Angela the lady in charge of the cemetery. She did everything
possible bureaucratically to be of a nuisance.when Yuri took me to her in
order to get the permissions (he was her second in charge and they were
obviously on a very bad relationship). She thought I did not understand
Russian and asked for an official translation of my declaration that I am
the grandson of the buried ones. I surprised her by completing the
necessary applications personally in Ukrainian at her desk. Then she asked
me to find a responsible person to oversee the work done and receive and
acknowledge its execution in my absence. I appealed to the then president
of the Jewish community, who immediately issued the letter, but also got
furious at her and told her on the phone what he thinks about all these
unnecessary bureaucratic behaviors.
I understand that all that happened because of the then rivalry at the
direction of the cemetery and is now passee.
There should be no problem today to find any grave location either directly
at the cemetery registers or armed with the Jewishgen record and the map of
the place.
And Alexander: "nomen is not always omen".Lol.
