[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Stakein refugee centre

[Richard Benert]

Emilie,

I can't help you with your "Stakein," (although I'm very curious about it), 
but my guess is that your "Wotz" is the Polish city of Lodz. My wife tells 
me that the Polish "L" with the slash through it is pronounced "W".

> Hello  I am looking for information regarding the refugee centre I know as
