[Cz-L] Silence is golden

Hello to everyone,

My name is Moshe Rubin. I too am a nearly silent reader of this forum. I am also likely to be the youngest member of the group, I am 27 years old. 

My father was born in Cimpulung-Moldevensec in 1939, his father Rabbi Moses Josef Rubin was the Chief Rabbi of the town from 1923 until the war. The family fled to Bucharest in 1940 and eventually made it to the US in 1948.

Our family has very deep roots in many towns of Bukovina.

My grandfather's great grandfather was Rabbi Alter Hager, Radovitzer Rebbe (in Radauti). He moved to Palestine in 1873.

My grandfather's grandfather was a hassidic Rebbe named Reb Shmelke of Sereth (Siret) or (Reb Schmelke Sereter). He was a grandson of Rabbi Sholom of Belz and was also a son in law of the aforementioned Rabbi Hager. 

My grandfather's brother  Rabbi Abraham Uscher Rubin was the Rabbi of Kitzman (Kotzman) in Northern Bukovina. He was murdered by the SS when they entered the town in 1941.

My grandfather's sister was married to Rabbi Meshulam Roth who was ultra-orthodox chief rabbi of Chernovitz. They were able to escape from Chernovitz to Bucharest in 1944 and they made it to Eretz Israel shortly after.

I am always searching for where (and if) online there any newspaper archives from the Bukovina starting from the late 19th century going all the way until WWII. 

Any information would be greatly appreciated! 

Moshe
