Schwartz


In May-June 2000, Fred and Esther Schwartz (US) came to Romania looking for his roots in Moldavia. We tailored them a trip including, besides Bucharest, the cities of Galatz, Tecuci, Nicoresti (his father's birthplace), Bacau and Buhusi, where they visited the local Jewish communities, synagogues, cemeteries and archives. In their journey through the past, they met people who told fascinating stories about his own family and about the history of the Jews in this part of the world.
