Re: [Cz-L] World War One in Bukowina

Hi Mimi!
I believe that the rapid increase in population of Cz after WW1 is not only due to the <immigration> of Jews from Ukraine, Russia, Rumania... Jews from the rest of Bukowina, who survived the war in a way or another, came to Cz and contributed to a large extent to this increase: 1)documents for the new Rumanian administration were to be delivered only in Cz, and 2) they hoped to be able to cope in a more friendly (Jewish) environment with this administration. Besides, in order to stay in Bukowina and get the Rumanian citizenship, they had to write a family history and prove that they were in Bukowina for many decades already. This process lastet for at least 2 years - the Wagner got the citizenship in 1920 only! Many were discouraged and decided to emigrate, because they couldn't get any original documents, etc. For example, the Rumanian confiscated the BMD registers in Wiznitz of the only Jewish population - I saw the code number of these registers, but
 they were not available, whereas those of other groups of population were there...
Regards,
Charles
