In late June and early July of 1941 and after March 29, 1944 hundreds
of Czernowitz Jews were drafted and some volunteered for service in
the Soviet Army. Many of them fought heroically against the Germans
and became highly decorated soldiers and officers. Many were killed in
action. In the last several years Russian Ministry of Defence started
digitizing its vast archives and created two public databases: one
with the information on all soldiers who received awards and
decorations during the WWII, another with the names of all killed and
missing in action. The databases are not complete yet, but can serve
as a valuable genealogical resource. Below are the samples of
information on Jewish soldiers from Czernowitz from both databases.
Transliteration from Cyrillic is done by an automated tool and for
lack of time I did not correct even the obvious problems. I am posting
it just to give an idea of what is available there. The awards
database contains detailed descriptions of the acts of heroism, for
which an award is given. The database of fallen soldiers contains
information on the burial place (if available) and names of the next
of kin.
