RE: [Cz-L] Commemoration 1902

Mimi,

Thanks for enlightening me. I was young when I visited Czernowitz in the
1930s. I was protected from unpleasant events.

Dear Anny, Dear Abraham,

It was not quite so simple.
As soon as the Bukovina became part of Romania, the Romanians tried to expel
as many Jews as they could, by claiming that many of the Jews of Czernowitz
had moved to the city only recently. In order to be allowed to remain in the
city Jews had to prove that they had lived in Czernowitz in 1910.
I have a document confirming such residency for my mother's family.

Later, in the thirties, many professions and jobs were closed to Jews.
My father had the equivalent of a Masters degree in Mathematics.
This qualified him to be a high school teacher, but by 1932 teaching high
school jobs were mostly closed to Jews.
In 1926 in Czernowitz, David Falik, was shot dead by the anti-Semitic
student leader Nicholas Totu.
In 1926 there was a blood libel in Bucharest.

Mostly the Jews of Czernowitz were blind to what was going on, Anti-Semitism
was a fact of life and they paid no more attention to it than to the
weather.
