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

Dear Miha,

Trajan Popovici was the mayor of Czernowitz when the Romanians took over in
1941 and he succeeded to persuade the authorities to refrain from
deportation of around 20,000 Jews who were to maintain the industry and
services in the city. You will find info about this both at the Ehpes
website and in Wikipedia (google Trajan Popovici).

As to "deportation of Jews from Bessarabia to Transnistria" google this
phrase as well - see for instance
http://jewish-bendery.narod.ru/Chronology-english.html

The writer Apelfeld composed two volumes (in Hebrew - maybe they were
translated) about this deportation.

Who is Trajan Popovici?

Here is a map of the territory controlled by Romania under General
Antonescu. It includes Odessa even just outside Nikolaev, where there
were no Romanians.

Here is a map of Bessarabia, where one can see no Transnistria
