[Cz-L] Cry of Desperation from Siberia via Shanghai to Czernowitz in July 1941!

Czernowitzers...

Recently I published two posts at our ehpes.com Blog, headlined "The Elias Weinstein Petition" and "Elias Weinstein • Eyewitness of the Holocaust". First of all I would like to thank Peter Elbau and all of you, who contributed to this subject by comments and/or mails. Today I released the third and definitely most distressing post of this series at:

This publication became feasible by courtesy of our fellow member Peter Elbau (Postcard to Shanghai) and Dragos Olaru, literary historian and archivist at the Czernowitz Regional Archives (Transport list for 1,444 deportees from Adancata/Hlyboka to the Aktobe Province).

"Alleged deportation to Siberia", as the (British Mandate) Government of Palestine insisted in 1945? No, not at all, as we are able to document by the listing of 1,444 deportees, which were "consigned" in Adancata/Hlyboka on 13.06.1941, out of which 1,442 arrived in the Aktobe Province in Kazakhstan on 29.06.1941.

I've done my very best to make this listing available and searchable to all of you, but as I don't speak Russian, I was dependent on online Russian translators (for the remarks) and online Russian transliteration tools (for the names). Please note, that the original Jewish names have been Russianized by the Soviets, beside the fact, that you'll face numerous misspellings; nevertheless I think, that it's worth to research this listing (1,444 names on 99 pages) carefully!

In addition I stumbeled over the comparatively large number of Ukrainian and Romanian names included in this listing, a fact which reminds us, that the Soviet rule claimed an enormous number of victims, notwithstanding their ethnicity. Once more, please don't hesitate to submit your comments/mails.
