Re: [Cz-L] Sinagoge Gasse 9/ WW1 and Austrian army

I think the attitude of Czernowitzers during WW1 and immediately
afterwards
was completely supportive of Austria. Most Czernowitzers had relatives
who fought in the Austrian army and during the war, whenever the
Russians
held the city, they plundered and burned parts of it.

At the end of the war, a plebiscite was held in Czernowitz, and the
population,
consisting mainly of Ruthenians (Ukrainian subgroup) and Jews,
voted overwhelmingly against annexation to Romania.

The Romanians wanted to get rid of all non-Romanian minorities and
threw out
anybody who could not prove that he had lived in Czernowitz or the
Bukovina
before the war.
