Re: [Cz-L] The Reading of the Names - Yom Hashoa

Dear Ruth,
My grandmother, Sally Schachner, from mother's side, perished on the way to
Bershad, probably from typhus, hunger and cold. My mother, Clara Schachner,
stayed on her own in Transnistria.
Thank you for gathering these names.
All the best,
Sally Bendersky

Subject: [Cz-L] The Reading of the Names - Yom Hashoa

Czernowitzers:

Last week Mr Gregory Wallance gave a presentation of his book
“America’s Soul in the Balance” at the Tolerance Museum in NY.

Most of you already know that the book deals with the Blocked rescue of
70,000 deportees from Trannistria.

Apparently, the people at the Museum were touched by the Transnistria
tragedy, and as a result they want to do something special on Yom
Hashoa.

Mr. Wallance referred them to me. I already contacted Yad Vashem and am
gathering names from my friends and acquaintances.

It occurred to me that many List members would be able to send me the
names of their relatives, who perished in Trannistria; therefore this
post.

See attached mail below:

Hi Ruth,

How are you? I got your number from Greg Wallance. As he mentioned to
you, we are doing a reading of the names for Holocaust Remembrance
Day and we would like to read the names of Romanian Jews since they do
not seem to get a lot of attention, based on the book Greg presented.
I need to start reaching out to get readers this week though. Do you
think you will be able to get me names in time for the event on April
7th? I can gather readers first. How many names do you think you can
get?

Thank you,
Melissa
