I too, remember that the term used for a travel permit was "propuska".
When the Russians returned to Czernowitz in March of 1944, I was less than
seven years old, but I well understood and shared the general joy we felt.
We went to the Siebenburgerstrasse and watched as the open trucks with the
soldiers passed by. The soldiers threw candies to all the children and
called "malchik" or "dyevushka" to us. It was a beautiful day, relatively
warm for that time of year and the sun shone brightly.
Three political events which I celebrated in my childhood, are prominent
in my memories; the partition of Palestine decision in Nov. 1947, Israel's
independence celebration in May 1948 and the liberation of Czernowitz in
March 1944.
