Eichenfeld Memorial

I'll attempt to share the info I have about the massacres commemorated at the Eichenfeld Memorial that we saw.

It commemorates the 76 men and 6 women murdered at Eichenfeld/Dubovka on the night of October 26 - 27, 1919, and the following nights, as well as a defined number of people from other communities in the Nikolaipole Volost, including 9 men from Petersdorf, 5 of which are relatives of Ingrid Peters-Fransen, namely

Johann Peters (1888 - Nov 5, 1919) - Ingrid's GF
Johann Peters (1864 - Nov 5, 1919) - Ingrid's great GF
Franz Peters (1843 - Nov 5, 1919) - Ingrid's great great GF (father-in-law to Johann Peters b 1864)
Kornelius Franz Peters (1888 - Nov 5, 1919) - son of Franz Peters above
Franz Unrau (1897 - Nov 5, 1919) - grandson of Franz Peters above.
