Re: [Cz-L] Masarykgasse in Czernowitz

Abraham,

this street did not exist in the Austrian period. This is one of the
few "new" streets in the town center, the construction began in the
early 1930s and was completed by the late 1930s. The street got its
maiden name sometime in the fall or winter of 1937 (Tomáš Masaryk died
on September 14, 1937, streets and squares in dozens of Central
European and Balkan towns were named after him. There is kibbutz Kfar
Masaryk near Acre, Sderot Masaryk in Tel Aviv, and Rehov Masaryk in
Bat Yam, Netanya, Petakh Tikva, and, probably, some other Israeli
towns as well).

You can see it on the map at http://maps.google.com/maps?q=48.285249,25.93577
GoogleMaps incorrectly marked it as Petra Onchula, in reality it is
vul. Bogomoltsya.
