RE: [Cz-L] After we go

Hi! I did not say there were only a few Jews..I said that "I met quite a
few"...which has a different meaning altogether. And labelling all the Jews
as "a miserable lot" ????? Cornel

A few jews were still there in Soviet times... are you serious?
During the Soviet period there were more than 70.000 jews in Cz, (and not
even one synagogue!) most of the students in my class were Jewish.
Native Chernowitzers became a minority. And they were a miserable lot. They
were unable to adapt and, eventually, most of their children (from my
generation) married out.
Besarabians, on the other hand, adapted very well and even thrived during
those tough times.
Then, we all left.Ukrainians from the villages moved in
There are now 1.500 Jews in Cz and that's why Cz looks sad. . Even my
non-jewish former classmates confirm that.
The architecture is fine, the festivals keep going but Cz without Jews has
lost it...
