Dear Sir, 
                                
I found your e-mail address on the Internet. I courteously
inform you that on June 10th there was a solemn, symbolic 
installation of a memorial on the place in Holobut
(5 km from Stryj) where victims were lost, which was covered in
depth in the Polish, Ukrainian and Austrian media. Articles for
the Jewish media are also in preparation. Those articles should
appear in the near future.  
  
Erection of the stone took place in the presence of Rabbi of
Lwow, many children of Jews from near Lwow, many important
politicians from Poland, Ukraine and Austria (where I now live)
as well as the only surviving Jew still living in Stryj, Jozef
Feuer.     
 
I am an author. In 1998 I published a literary book entitled
"Holobutow" in Polish and German from the Educational
Publishing House of Krakow ISBN # 83-86949-10-4. This book sold
out to the last copy, even though it appeared in sizable numbers.
Since then, I organized the erection of the stone in Holobut,
which I visited several times. My father is buried there, who
was shot during the first action in Stryj, on 1-9-1941. 
Everything that occurred in Holobut on 10-6-2001 (June 10, 2001)
resulted from my own initiatives, with the great and full
dedicated help of Mark Maldis of Polish Television,
who also reported very objectively about
Holobut. 
 
Please read the text about Holobut by opening the "Home-Page":

Of the stone's dedication in Holobut, please read at home-page:
www.trybuna.com.pl from July 1, 2001 - "Magazyn Trybuny" The
title of the article: "Stone from the Heart".
I am the son of the lawyer Dr. Karl Rosenberg, who had a
lawyer's office at Krasinski St. 2, where our family also lived.
 
I hope that this information will please you and others from
Stryj, if such are still alive, but I don't know of any. In any
case, my book "Holobut" and the stone erected June 10, 2001 are
the only memorials to the Jews murdered there, of whom the
number is estimated to have been between 14,000 and 17,000
(Probably Jews are also buried there from Zydaczowa, Morszyna,
Bolechowa, Skolego and other small villages around Stryj)
 
Heartfelt greetings
