As far as I know, the Dobrovolni were Ukrainians and were active
North of Czernowitz, not in the southern Bucovina.
Even though I did not know of this particular gruesome event,
such crimes were motivated both by greed and Anti-Semitism.
I lived in Radauti in June and possibly July of 1945, but since I was
only eight years old at the time, this was probably hidden from me.
What I remember most about that time in Radauti, are the many
Greek Orthodox funerals, in which paintings of saints and banners
were carried in the procession. I think that there was an epidemic
of Typhus or Typhoid Fever in town.
