Hello Maurice,
The Germans did not intervene much in what the Romanians did during WW2.
They were amazed at how disorganized the Romanians were and left them
to do as they pleased.
I do not know whether Antonescu was bribed by the Jewish leadership
in Bucuresti,
to let Popovici proceed with giving permission to stay, to so many
Czernowitz Jews.
As to the ghetto and permission to leave it: The ghetto lasted for 9
weeks.
It was established on Oct. 11, 1941 and closed in early December.
Popovici permits were issued in alphabetical order of surnames;
two consecutive letters on each day.
I have my family's Popovici permit. It was issued on Nov. 27th, 1941
and is signed by both mayor Popovici and the delegate
of the provincial government of Bucovina, Major Iliescu.
My family name was Reifer, on Nov. 27th permits were issued to people
who's name started with the letters "R" or "S".
=46rom this I deduct that it only took about 3 or 4 days to hand out
all the rest
of the permits and that by Dec. 4th 1941, the ghetto was dissolved.
Then people could return to their previous residences, if these had
in the meantime not been taken over by Romanians.
My family was not so lucky, a Czernowitz Romanian family by the name
of Grecu
had moved into the house we had been renting on the Blumengasse.
