http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/07/books/07burg.html?emc=tnt&tntemail0=y? is an obituary for Josef Burg from the NY Times. It says in part:
-----------------------------------------
Josef Burg, who as one of the last Yiddish authors in Eastern Europe preserved vestiges of a once-vibrant culture in fictional reflections on Jewish life, from the ghettos of the cities to the remote shtetl villages of the Carpathian Mountains, died on Aug. 10 in Chernovitsi, the city where he grew up in what is now Ukraine. He was 97.
-----------------------------------------
The article includes discussion of the history, and cultural roles in that history, of Czernowitz / Chernovitsi.
