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

Dear Ruth,

My mother's cousin, Ada Krasner from Bricheni, aged 9, was wounded by a
drunken German soldier and was left in the snow to die while her parents,
Golda and Moshe Krasner were ordered to stay in a column to continue their
death march in winter of 1942.

My great grandmother, Rebecca Segal from Mihaileni/Dorohoi, perished on the
way to Luchinetz.

My mother's 2 uncles perished with their families ( 7 people from the
Kerzman family, born in Bricheni), killed on the territory of
Ukraine/Transnistria that fell under German control. The circumstances of
their final moments unknown.

Another uncle, Chaim Lerner, died on the way to Transnistria in October
1941.

My mother, Ada Kraft, was deported to Transnistria from Czenowitz with her
family in October 1941. Her brother, Zeida, was taken to a labour camp at
Trihatka but managed to escape. They were liberated in 1944 by the Russians
from the ghetto Luchinetz; all have survived.

In my mother's words (she was 14 years old at that time): "as soon as we
were put on the train, people started to die like flies".
