Betreff: [Cz-L] ITS documents
--000000000000a9a7c5057865bb03
Hi everyone,
I have been off-list for a long time but recently received a pile of
research from USHMM. I would love some advice.
Here is a Tracing and Documentation (ITS) record - an inquiry submitted to
the International Tracing Service after WW2 by an unknown third party.
I'm pretty certain the ITS card (dated 9/3/1970) meant perhaps to make a
case for postwar restitution translates as the following - I am using the
ITS Glossary to help understand this...I also was lucky enough to get
similar documents about my dad and other relatives - so I'm looking forward
to finally having a timeline, thanks to the information on these forms.
For example, I find that my grandmother, Ettel Blei Schmatnik - was in the
Czernowitz ghetto starting in November 1941, and wore a yellow star from
that date til March 1944. After that, in 1945 she was in Czernowitz proper,
and then in 1948, Bucharest, and emigrated from Konstanza Romania to Israel
(not sure when) but then emigrated to the US in 1958. The last line of her
card seems to indicate an office which gave this info to the ITS??? and
reads:
Amt f.Wg.d.Ld.Rheinl./Pf.,Bln. URO Berlin (Office of something or other in
Berlin)ein
eing. 18.9.1970
3.9.1970 Sti.
My father, Karl Schmatnik (Gil AlRoy) ITS card has his birth year as 1941
in Czernowitz (identical to a list member who passed, named Kurt Nachman,
who seemed to follow a similar path to my dad's. He was in the Ghetto in
October of 1941 and then in forced labor - in 12/1941 in Tiraspol, and in
November 1943 in Buzeu, and in August 1944 in Baekau-Doaga before he was
liberated. I know that he emigrated to Israel in January 1945 from other
research.
I cannot find much information on Doaga, or photographs, apart from a
chapter in the USHMM book on labor camps.
