[Cz-L] Re: czernowitz-l digest: March 13, 2011

My father was born in Russian Novoselitza. However there was across the
river an Austrian Novoselitza, as well.
Leaving Cz. in 1945, there were (like in Romania, various "maklers" who
arranged for a "propusk", obviously for money)
We got ours, through bribing an official (a pair of leather boots). We left
on May 8-th, were held over in Tereblesti, because the Soviets (unlike the
Western Allies) celebrated Victory Day on may 9-th, then there was Romania's
National Day (Zece Mai), so we spent another night in Tereblesti. I remember
when we crossed into Romania, we of course when being asked, stated that our
birthplace was far away from the worker's paradise, I think we said Bacau.
