Re: [Cz-L] Unknown statue, unknown czernowitzers

Thank you Benjamin.
The fact that this statue was destroyed, explains why I,
who went to the Volksgarten almost every day, do not remember it.
It must have been destroyed in 1940-41.

I do not know which Czernowitz statues or memorials were destroyed
by Russian soldiers either in 1940-41 or in 1944-45. But I am fairly
sure
that these acts of vandalism, were not ordered from above,
but were carried out by drunken soldiers, who were not used to urban
living.
