Re: [Cz-L] How many Jews died in Bukowina during the war?

Miha,

I strongly recommend that you read "The Holocaust in Romania"
by Radu Ioanid of the United States Holocaust Museum.
The book contains figures for the number of Jews deported,
taken from Romanian documents of the period.
The Jewish population of the Bucovina at the outbreak of WW2
was certainly NOT 27,000!
The number of Jews in Bucovina and Bessarabia is estimated
to have been greater than 300,000 in the spring of 1940.
During the Russian occupation and the withdrawal of Soviet forces
in 1941, about 30,000 Jewish people were deported or left of their own
with the Soviets. In July and August of 1941, tens of thousands Jews
were killed in mass murders in these regions.
