JETTI'S STORY:
The family may have lived in Chernovtsy ( earlier Czernowitz), before being deported to Mogilev.
Jetti thinks her parents died in the ghetto in Mogilev.
She herself was probably put in an orphanage in Mogilev.
Later ( March 1944?) Jetti and other orphans were brought by train from Mogilev to Romania.
The children were called the Transnistria children.
Jetti was later adopted in Bacau, Romania.
Her adoptive parents told her she had a note with the above mentioned names and dates.
RESEARCH JOURNAL JUNE 2005
TRANSNISTRIA The deportations of Jews from Bessarabia , Bukovina and Northern Moldova to Transnistria started in September 1941 and went on till the autumn of 1942. According to some sources around 150 000 Jews were deported to Transnistria. It is estimated that around 300 000 Jews had lived in that area before the war, but many of these had been murdered before the deportations to this area started .
The winter of 1942 - 1943 was very severe and many died. Later food supplies from outside Jewish organizations helped refugees to survive the winter of 1943 - 1944.
LIST OF ORPHANS FROM TRANSNISTRIA? Negotiations to release at least some of the orphans first did not succeed, but in March 1944 a group of 1841 orphans came back to Romania. One may assume Jetti was one of these, but that must be confirmed first. The question is, is there a list of these orphans in archives in Romania, Israel or elsewhere?
TESTIMONY OF ANOTHER GIRL, BORN 1930, WHO SURVIVED TRANSNISTRIA
The Nizkor Project has published the testimony of Rifka Yaldor . This may help us understand what happened to Jetti during the difficult years in Transnistria.
