In Krolevetz, also a place where the Zumsky's lived, we had no names or addresses to go to.  Near the church we asked some one about any Jews in town, and were guided to the house where these ladies lived.  Galena, on the left, is a retired teacher.  Her sister, Bella, is blind and hard of hearing. Galena was able to phone another woman, a leader of the Jewish community, that we could visit, but not for another hour or so.  After, telling us that she survives on a pension of about $10 per month, Galena insisted that we have tea while we waited.  We said okay, but "only tea," meaning that we did not want her to use up any food or money on us.  She responded, "Of course, only tea, what else would I give you, vodka?"  She then proceeded to dig a package of butter cookies and a jar of homemade preserves from a drawer which, of course, we could not refuse.  They live in a fairly spacious apartment, but can afford to heat only one room.  They do receive aid packages, and, it appears, other assistance.

None of the people we spoke to in Krolevetz had heard of David's family.  We were guided to the Jewish cemetary, about a kilometer down a muddy road.  The cemetary is still in use, and has a number of recent graves.  There are very few older graves, however, and those that exist are either totally overgrown with weeds or partially turned over.

This mass grave is for 72 Jews shot by the "German fascists" in 1942.
