[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] city of Syzran

[Jack Milner]

Thanks Günther and Jerry,

The voice on the tape is heavily German accented, but after listening 
very closely to the tape, the name of city is definitely Syzran.

Here are two more place names, transcribed from the tape I'm listening 
to about their expulsion from Volhynia to Siberia.

"And then we came... they brought us in and they take us (sounds like 
english "v", German "j", German "e") Sovinsky Sovarlje.    And they got 
us in as far as Syzran, and that was a port on the Volga.  And then they 
brought us back to a village, and that was Sparsta (sounds like english 
Shparshta)"

 I don't expect a lot of success with these two, though, but I expect 
they would be west of Syzran, if on any map at all.
