[Cz-L] Being a dog in Czernowitz.

http://pics.livejournal.com/whasup/pic/00df4cft

 In 1941 in Czernowitz you were much better off if you were a dog.
   Any dog.
       Dogs could stay in Czernowitz without a permit.
             No Ghetto , no deportation no yellow star.
                    No one wanted you dead.

     When we returned from the Ghetto Medi , the bitch of our
       next door neighbors ,was waiting before the door.
      She waited there for three months or more.
     Our neighbor was Gitl , a seamstress who lived with her mother.
     The whole day she would sing Yiddish songs...
      They were deported and never came back.
       We took Medi in and kept her until we left.
       Thousands of animals were abandoned in 1941:
         Dogs , cats , birds and guinea pigs.

                 Even babies.

     Hardy
