Hej (Hello)
The number 33 is 'trettiotre' in Swedish. (pronounced trettitre)
Yes, please, I would like a summary of your collected 33's.

I am in the process of translating some chapters in my grandfather's
autobiography and I might post some interesting ones. The one on Tarna
Mare ( 27 KM North -East actually of Halmeu) is somewhat interesting but
there are others even more captivating because they deal with WWI,
between the two WW, WWII and the Eastern front, and also after WWII
when he was interogated, tortured and put in prison.
Anyway in Tarna Mare were a lot of Jews, a lot more than your
statistics show. He doesn't say how many of each ethnic group, but
what is interesting is the school director and the other teacher were both
locals and Romanian (so they said). Their names were, Ioan Doros and
Ana Sandor ( how is that for Romanian last names). He mentiones the
Romanian priest was a Uniate one but he doesn't mention of any
parochial school. By the way, Eva, in the chapter on Tarna Mare there is
a funny story about a Hungarian called Balogh, but I reserve that for
later.
