War was in the air.
  IPA was positive on this.( that is the Jewish Plotke Agentur).
  The streets were full of strange people with bags, rucksacs refugees from
the shtetls , from Austria, Czechoslovakia , Poland , Rumania seeking
refuge.
   By train , car , carriage and by foot.
     All wanted to be in Czernowitz BK. Specially the Jews .
    My fathers brother arrived from Vienna with pregnant wife and baby.
    People were fleeing to Russia , others from Russia, Germans to Germany.
      Rumanians to and from Rumania.
       Jews in all possible directions, most stayed trapped in town.
    Nobody knew whay lies ahead but it didnt smell good.
     Husbands left families , families split , people converted to the
church,
     nobody knew what was next.
      Lichtenstein the violinist on first floor was playing the Toselli
serenade from morning to night :

   Soviet troops were marching singing war songs : "Yesly zavtra voina "
    meaning " If tomorrow is war" explaining to the crowd what they
     will do to the " zahvatchiky " the invaders that is when war comes.
      Josel , the speaker of the regional IPA sat down and solemnly
declared:
      " Wir sind verloren " meaning " we are doomed ".
         He was only reflecting the general mood.
