Dear Iris,

as small footnote: according to the letters published in „Black Milk“ the Landwehr-Family in Merangasse 10 seems to be some kind of distribution-point for the couriers who went to Transnistria. The helped a lot: financial, infrastructural and with their networks. They were heroes.

Best, Benjamin
