[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Blumental

[Dave Obee]

The Blumental that's about 15 km west of Pulin is now known as Tsvetianka.
It's a straight translation of German into Russian. Means Flowery Valley or
some such thing. I've been there twice, and didn't see many flowers, and
calling it a valley is a bit of a stretch. Details, details.

This was the Blumental that Hertha Karasek-Strzygowski visited. I asked some
of the older residents in the village, and found a couple who remembered
her. Beyond that, the names in her book clearly refer to people from
Blumental (which was home to some of my Tiedes, Klingsporns, Freitags, and
the like).

I have never seen any reference to it as Dermanka.

Who wrote the words that appeared in the Journal? Maybe they could clarify
things.
