Otto von Habsburg considered old Czernowitz as a model for a new
Europe. His book "Idee Europa" (Muenchen: Herold Druck, 1976)
included a chapter entitled "Czernowitz, oder Was ist Toleranz?" in
which he wrote (perhaps a little bit idealistically): "In Czernowitz
gab es die Synthese zwischen nationalem Verständnis und einer höheren,
man möchte sagen europäischen Einstellung. Hier wurde in einem
gemischtnationalen Raum bewiesen, daß die Völker im Geiste einer
gemeinsamen Kultur Gewaltiges leisten können, daß es möglich ist,
verschiedene Sprach- und Glaubensgemeinschaften friedlich und im
Dienste an eine große, gemeinsame Idee zusammenzuführen".
