Today we left the hotel in Viisuara and headed back to Bucharest for our flight. On the way we stopped at Maraseti, which is a memorial building to the fallen soldiers of World War 1. This place is significant because fierce battles occurred there when the Austro-Hungarian army was pushing their way through the mountain passage of the Carpet Mountains and the Romanian army tried to stop them. Two of Savta's uncles who served in the army died there. We went into the building and scanned the list of hundreds of thousands of names of fallen soldiers but could not find them. Savta told us that her brother and her sister were named after her uncles. One was Lupu and the other was Meir.
