I remember crossing with my family into Romania from Tereblesti.
It was either in May or June of 1945. Probably in June, because I
think that school
had finished already for summer vacation.
It was said at the time, that 12000 Jewish people crossed the border
from Tereblesti during two or three days.
No arrangements had been made for housing or feeding so many people
while they waited for the border control. Most people slept in one
very large barn.
I think that the only food we had were hard-boiled eggs which we had
brought with us
from Czernowitz. It was also said that while we were in Tereblesti,
a few elderly people died, two or three babies were born and one
couple got married.
We were not allowed to take with us any money, jewelry or valuables.
We of course thought of various ways of smuggling the little we had
with us.
Coins and Jewelry was baked into cakes, hidden in shoulder-pads
and somehow put into eggs which were hard boiled.
old gold pocket watches were blackened with coal, so they looked
worthless.
Those of us who had relatives in the southern Bucovina were lucky.
A young cousin of my mother from Radauti, searched for a cart in Siret
with which to take us from the border to Radauti. In the process he met
a beautiful and very nice young woman, they eventually married
and still live happily in Israel.
