I can also confirm they were cattle cars. My mother and father, maternal grandparents, aunts and uncles, were all transported to Transnistria (Mogilev) in 1941 by cattle cars. Three years later, 3 grandparents had died, several aunts and uncles had died. My mother and the one remaining grandmother also walked home to Czernowitz in 1944. My father was immediately taken to the Russian Army directly from Mogilev. Wishing everyone on the List a better year ahead!Melita (Fuhrman) VickterFamily of: Fuhrman, Spitzer, Zimmer, Tresser, and Halm.
