[Cz-L] Lost Their Lives in an "Immigration Procedure"

Czernowitzers...

A few days ago I've reported on "Jews Deported as 'Aliens' or 'Stateless Persons' from Bukovina to Transnistria in 1942". At roughly the same time, our friends from "Poemas del rio Wang", this unique poetic-artistic-historic Blog on the Internet,

http://riowang.blogspot.de/

reported - completely independently - on a similar deadly "Immigration Procedure": "On the summer of 1941 the Hungarian authorities - certainly on the request of the Hungarian defense staff and approved by the Council of Ministers - gathered in the course of police raids and expelled from the country twenty thousand so-called "stateless" Jews, who had no Hungarian citizenship. The majority were those who had fled Poland, then occupied by the Germans, but many of them had lived in Hungary for generations, or had been expelled from Slovakia because of their pro-Hungarian activity. The captives were deported into the Kőrösmező collection camp, where on 12 August they were handed over to the German army invading Poland. At the sight of the dimensions of the deportation, the German authorities asked for the procedure to be stopped, because they were unable to place so many people. The majority of the persons handed over were delivered to Kamenets-Podolsk, and for a while guarded in the ghetto, but on 27 and 28, they were shot into a mass grave. This was the first German genocide of this size against Jews, one month before Baby Yar and long before the death camps." Read the full article at

and learn, why Hungarian authorities today (!?) are talking about "just an immigration procedure"!

P.S.: The article on "Jews Deported as 'Aliens' or 'Stateless Persons' from Bukovina to Transnistria in 1942" is still available at:
