The Border with Ukraine
Arriving at the border in Siret
Early the next morning, following google maps on fairly empty roads I set out with my car full of groceries and medical supplies to the border crossing at Siret, Romania. I first found myself approaching a series of exhibition style tents lining a narrow road. I pulled over and realized this must be the border with Ukraine. Everyone was just opening up their tents, and there were many police around. The tents were those of international aid agencies from all around the world (see Figure 66). I sent a text to Ery who sent me a photo of their tent so that I could find them. I actually didn't even realize until I arrived that I was providing the food directly to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee’s (JDC) tent. They have a large tent and were providing aid to all Ukrainians (not only Jews).
