Several colleagues of mine are involved in a translation of Wolfgang Koeppen's holocaust book "Jakob Littner's Aufzeichnungen aus einem Erdloch". The book has generally been treated as a novel - however, there is a chance that Littner really existed and that the book is based on his diary. Littner supposedly entered the US in 1947 or 1948 - any ideas on how to verify the existence of this man? Since Littner lived in the ghetto of Zbaraz near Tarnopol, I would be grateful for any contributions or literature on Jewish life in the Western Ukraine. Especially welcome would be ideas from colleagues who have worked on the history of the Belzec concentration camp. Thank you for your help, Reinhard Zachau University of the South Reinhard K.
