RE: [Cz-L] Regiment 15

 
Jim,

This is not an off-topic discussion. We have to learn more about WWI - but
there is no-one to ask...

I have searched a lot in the press of those times. The Austrian press was
heavily censored and information about the Jews is scarce.

There was no "evacuation" from Galicia and Bukovina.

There was a chaotic flight - especially in June-July 1916 as a result of the
Brussilow-Offensive.

The masses of refugees to the "'west" of Austria-Hungary was a heavy burden
for the state .

Try and search the archives of the Jewish Chronicle (U.K.) .

For example : there is an article about Jews in Galicia and Bukowina in the
issue from August 18, 1916 , pages 12-13.

You have to pay for it.

If you read German I've saved a short notice from July 1916 from an Austrian
Newspaper. I can send it you or everyone interested.
Regards
Irene

Great story--based on a classic Jewish joke/anecdote, present in several
variations.

Anyway, all this fascinating discussion of WWI reminds me of a question I
had--perhaps a bit tangential, but, I hope, not entirely not off-topic.

My father's family moved from Bukovina to Galicia shortly before WWI (the
other relatives remained behind). When the Russians invaded, they were
evacuated to Moravia (and later, Bohemia).

Do list members here have information on the comparable cases in the
Bukovina? Were evacuations from the two regions connected, i.e. did some of
the same transports take refugees from both areas? Any ideas?

Jim
