Re: [Cz-L] After we go

Thousands of us fled Czernowitz in 1945 and 1946. Some of us
risked being shot in trying to cross the border into Romania illegally.
Was this because we loved the Romanians?
Or we hated the city of Czernowitz?
No. It was because we did not want to live under oppression.
We all hoped to eventually get to Palestine and for it to become
our Jewish state, where we would be free to be ourselves.
Never the less, Czernowitzers continued to long for Czernowitz
as it had been.

The esthetic sense of the current inhabitants is different from ours.
I do not like pink or purple Cathedrals any better than Hardy, but I like
drab Soviet architecture even less.
Lviv by comparison is older and more splendid, but the palace
of count Pototzki gives it its character, it is a city of the Polish
nobility, Czernowitz is and was a city of its inhabitants.
