Re: [Cz-L] Lists

I don't want to go into the whole issue of Druker and Yad Vashem but can
only add this information:

I visited Mogilev less than 6 months ago, searching for the graves of my
very close family.
In preparation for the trip I was in touch with all of our list members who
seem to have had an input or experience.
It was clear that there was a list of people burried in the transnistria
cemetery (as opposed to the genral cemetery of the Jewish community) but we
only had pieces of this list, with some geographical/relative description of
the location. I found, with the help of some of you, several of the names
mentioned, but didn't find many other - and am not sure that a list actually
exists that describes the "other ones" which were burried in another section
(accross the road). Now having been there I can tell that it was impossible
to work with the "maps" because the stones are standing so sparsly.
However, at some point, which I have a reason to assume was at least a
couple dozen years ago, somebody marked the existing stones with numbers in
some kind of sequence (admit not most logical). The trick was now to get the
list of buried by the number marked on the stone, To my happiness, this list
exists in the safe of the local Jewish community in the museum in Mogilev.
Iwas allowed to take a look, copy, but not photograph or scan the long list.
I found many familiar names (numbered) but when I went back to the supposed
locations, they were empty (they must have been there when the numbering
took place), and the numbered list did not contain those names that I was
missing all along, i.e. from another side of the cemetery. I tried to
convince the head of the community toallow me to scan the list ( I brought a
scanner with me) but he refused thinking that he has a gold laying egg at
hand, and didn't care at all about the future of this list after the city
elderly Jews disappear. Very disappointing. and there is nobody else to ask.
I have again taken many pictures, as others did before me , which were now
uploaded in our site, as well as pictures of the local Jewish museum
including the maps of the camp.
I hoped to be able to annotate everything and give much more of a background
but am currently so busy and never got around to doing so (also for many
other cities in the greater Bukovina which I documented). In March I am
going on a Sabbatical to LA for a year and maybe will find the time to do
the documentaion.
In any case Jerome has put up the first batch of pictures our site and you
are welcome to view (city, market, museum, synagogue and cemetery.
