First we went to the the Jewish cemetery. We knew that Saba's dad was buried there but we weren’t sure whether we would manage to find his grave or not. We entered and saw a memorial in the shape of a star of David which read on one side that it is to remember the Jews that were killed on the spot during the progrom on July 1st, 1940. On the other side it read to remember the Jews that were killed during the deportation in November 1941. From there the guards brought a notebook that had all the names of the dead, and we found Saba's dad's name (hershku seculet) and the location of his grave. We also saw the name of Saba's sister, Lisa, but the location of her grave was not written in the notebook.
