Once more...for my book...I want to have the correct spellings of places:
In the vicinity of Mydzk (Krs.Kostopol) my Dad talks of villages with markets.
I found Stepan that he says was about 10 km away. Another village sounds like
Osov or Vasolf?? A bigger city that was further than Stepan was Drajna?? Here
you could buy more things and there was a taylor that sewed suits.
They got the mail at Stugeon ??
On the way to Lodz during the time of resettlement, they were on a train and
stopped (siding of the train tracks) at Zlazna or Slozna??
Then the camps after Lodz were Kalisch?? and then Waldhorst?? which was
supposidly a former Jewish resort now turned refugee camp?
In my mother's story, again during the resettlement:
families left by train....I did not go to Rozyszcze, I went to Kievritz??
The book is progressing very well....I am hoping to get to a publisher shortly
after Christmas!!
