Czernowitzers...
May I draw your attention to a superb new map of the Czernowitz Ghetto?
It comes from Leo Spitzer and Marianne Hirsch.
--- In Leo's own words: "...We are sending you a high resolution Czernowitz ghetto map indicating the streets that were included in the ghetto in its first configuration when it was created on October 11, 1941. It is based on official Romanian information published in Cernăuți in the Romanian language newspaper “Bucovina” on Saturday, October 11, 1941, the day the ghetto was officially established. The 1941 source map used here was published by the German military in 1941 using a Romanian base map (which explains the Romanian street names used in conjunction with German language identification of some sites [i.e. “Juden Friedhof’; “Schlachthhof”; “Güterbanhof” etc.]). As you well know, that map, in high resolution, is available on the Czernowitz-ehpes web site. Curiously, the Judengasse (Evreiască) was not included in this official listing of ghetto streets. A subsequent addition to the ghetto was the Wojnarowiczgasse (Oltenei). A schematic version of this map can be found on p. 126 in our book, "Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish memory" (http://www.ghostsofhome.com/blog/) [...] Best regards, Leo Spitzer & Marianne Hirsch --- The map is accessible from the Ehpes Home Page: http://czernowitz.ehpes.com -> Menu -> Maps -> Item #16 I have higher resolution version of the posted map that I could email to you if you need it. I'm sure you will join me in thanking Leo and Marianne for this!
