[Cz-L] Number of Czernowitz Jews, deported by Soviets, confined to ghetto, deported, killed, etc..

In one of my previous messages, I guessed at these numbers.
Having checked up on some of them, I now have this to add:

The number of Jews in Czernowitz in the fall of 1941, was about 50 000.
   (this is the number mentioned by Popovici in his "Spovedania")
The number of Jews in Czernowitz before the 1940 annexation to the USSR,
supposedly was 70 000, this also claimed by Popovici.
( I find it hard to believe, that those who managed to leave by emigrating
before the Russians arrived, plus those who were deported by the Russians
was 20 000.)
682 Jewish citizens of Czernowitz were murdered by Einsatzgruppe 10b
during the summer of 1941. (from "The Holocaust in Romania").
The number of Jews deported to Transnistria from Czernowitz in Oct. 1948,
Was put by governor Calotescu at 28 341.
About 5000 Jewish Czernowitzers were deported to Transnistria in June and
July of 1942.

This means that the total number of those deported to Transnistria from
Czernowitz was about 33 000. And by inference about 17 000 Czernowitz Jews
managed to stay in Czernowitz.

Based on the information in Radu Ioanid's book "The Holocaust in Romania",
Only one third of those deported to Transnistria survived. This includes
those deported from Besarabia and the southern Bukovina, as well as from the
villages and small towns of northern Bukovina. I do not know whether the
survival rate among Czernowitz Jews was greater or smaller.
If it was the same, about 11 000 Jewish Czernowitzers, would have returned
from Transnistria and the Jewish population of Czernowitz in the summer
of 1944, would have been 28 000. Taking into account those who were
conscripted into the Soviet army, fled illegally and sent to the Dombas
region, there would have been only about 27000 or less native Czernowitz
Jews left in the city by the summer of 1945.
