Sure he was Jewish. It was well known in Cz. I should have mentioned "der
Jüdische Polizei Komissär".

The son of Moritz Rottenberg was my classmate at LEG. His name was Konrad.
We knew that his father was a "Polizei Komissär" but nobody dared to tell
us that he was a well known torturer.

Czernowitzers…

May Day 1932, Czernowitz police and secret service authotities started to
conduct mass arrests of so-called "communists". But who were in fact those
"communists"? They were teenagers, students, coming from a good home, in the
majority of cases a Jewish one, opposing against the virulent anti-Semitism
and awaking fascism in Romania during the Interwar period.

Which serious crimes did they commit? They gathered in "conspirative
apartments" [owned by their parents], argued for many hours and at the end
of the day agreed on the text for a pamphlet. Then the flyers were typed, so
the typewriters were arrested = confiscated by the police too.

What happend to our teenager communists, while they were imprisoned? They
were humiliated, knocked unconscious and tortured by police officers.

What happened to the torturers? Nothing!

That's a lie or exaggerated? I'm afraid not, as you may learn from "today's"
[i.e. 03.12.1932/2010] edition of "Der Tag - The Day"
(http://czernowitzdaily.blogspot.com/), covering on p. 3 three communists
trials, as released to our Ehpes.com Blog:
