Hello All:
I am wondering how to go about researching whether my father, Dr. Joseph Sternberg, was fighting for the resistance during WW2. He was a doctor in the Romanian army. He suffered from terrible nightmares throughout his life although as a child my sister and I were sheltered from this fact. He used to tell stories of the time he spent treating peasants in the Crimea and being paid for his services with fistfuls of caviar. I have also discovered a series of pictures taken at Ispas in Transnistria ( ex: a group of people standing in front of a train car), however, there is no record of his being held as a prisoner there. My question: Is there a listing of resistance fighters somewhere, or an organization that has such records?
Thanks for your help.
