Aw: Re: [Cz-L] Journey through Galicia and Bukovina in May and April 2013 - Some Thoughts

Dear Hardy,
 
>From where did the Galician Jews come and when? To my knowledge the first settlements go back to the mid of 14th century when the Polish King Kazimierz the Great conquered Galicia. The Jews came with the Poles. It was the same king who gave asylum and the right to found cities to the Jews who fled from the pogroms in places like Mainz, Worms, Speyer, Cologne or Regensburg - the old Ashkenaz. The oldest document proving Jewish life in this cities is by emperor Constantin from the year 321. It was directed to the municipality of Cologne and is now in the Jewish museum in Berlin. The Jews came to Ashkenaz with the Romans. More then 1000 years later they moved further east. A very long journey.

I think that all Bukoviner should make this journey.
This is where we came from.
Czernowitz was only the final destination of the Galicia Jews.
But also Lemberg.
The Sammelpunkte.
The origin was in the Stetlech of Christian's journey.
