n Bukovina
I would take Platter's book with a pinch of doubt & suspicion. One should w=
eigh the authors background & character before giving great credibility to =
his writing. The viciousness in the exclusive description of the Jews can'=
t be but suspect against the description of the gentle ,cultivated, kind la=
ndlord and peasantry who because of a slight failing namely drunkenness & g=
ambling fall victims to those Jewish usurers. It becomes confusing . He des=
cribe the Jews in rags filthy ,dirty beggars and poor on one hand and next =
comes the change into money grubbing rich money lenders. Are these usurers =
still wearing those well described rags with holes ?? Where did they get th=
e money in the first place ??? and so the mystery grows.......

Yes, Hardy, you are coming straight to the point and Chaim Zhitlowsky state=
d as early as 1892:
"This is a picture of the streets, but it is not difficult to guess what ki=

nside the =E2=80=9Awretched, dirty, stinking hovels.=E2=80=98 Platter=E2=80=
=99s book was published fifteen years ago, in 1878, and perhaps the people =
of Czernowitz have become better dressed and more fashionable since then, o=
ut of concern that such =E2=80=9Ajolly landscapes=E2=80=98 not offened the =
sensibilities of enlightened Western Europeans. [...] The existence of pove=
rty among the Jewish masses provides sufficient evidence that emancipation =
opened up very few new opportunities for them. The fact is that the life of=
the masses has remained as it was before. The basic mode of economic exist=
ence for the overwhelming majority - the petit- and middle-trader, moneycha=
nger, business agent, tavernkeeper, craftsman, mechanic, teacher, butcher, =
and spiritual proletarian - is that in the morning they have no idea how th=
ey will satisfy the hunger of their large families that night. How do the u=
pper 10,000 employ themselves, then?"
Starting from Julius Platter's "Usury in Bukovina", Chaim Zhitlowsky's trac=
tates =E2=80=9EA Jew to Jews=E2=80=9C and =E2=80=9EWhy Only Yiddish?=E2=80=
=9C are most enlightening:
http://goo.gl/x1vKMo
It differs somehow from the official historical scholarship, which reads as=
follows: "Jews from the neighboring provinces streamed in Bukovina where, =
after Joseph II=E2=80=99s Patent of Toleration, they could develop their cu=
ltural life unmolested. All brought with them their religious customs, musi=
c, language and traditions. In this miniature replica of the Austrian Empir=
e, German, as the language of administration and of army command, became th=
e lingua franca of the market-place, the theatre, the press and the schools=
."
That's not wrong at all, but it held true mainly for those Jews, who could =
afford it.
