RE: [Cz-L] Massacres in Bucovina and Czernowitz in 1941

Dear Mimi and all,
Here is the link to the Report on the Holocaust in Rumania .I don't know if
it contains all this information.
You may try. It is very interesting anyhow.

Subject: [Cz-L] Massacres in Bucovina and Czernowitz in 1941

Reading "The holocaust in Romania" by Radu Ioanid, I have come across
information, I either was not aware of, or possibly the author is mistaken.

For instance:
> The Romanian army also executed 18 Jews in Tereblecea.
    Is Tereblecea the same as Tereblesti?
> One of the largest slaughters on that day took place in Cernauti, the
> Capital of Bucovina, where two thousand Jews were killed by Romanian
> soldiers working in league with local residents, gendarmes and German
> soldiers. Two mass graves at the Jewish cemetery received 250 corpses
> each, a third somewhat fewer.
   By that day the author means July 5th, 1941.
   Was the number of Jews killed in Czernowitz on that day, really 2000?
   Or was it about 700, as the number of those buried in common graves
   indicates? Where is the third grave?
> German troops executed another four hundred Jews on July 9, setting
> fire to the main synagogue with incendiary grenades.
   Was "the main synagogue" the "Tempel" set on fire by pouring gasoline on
   the floor and setting it on fire? Or was it indeed set on fire with
   incendiary grenades? Were the 400 people executed on that day buried
   at Bila?

Please forgive me for bringing up the details of this gruesome subject.
Like Marc Cohen, I believe that we should know. I also think, that among
members of the list there may exist first-hand and second-hand knowledge of
events which no longer exists anywhere else.

Mimi
