Setting things right :
1. Czernowitz was not destroyed. Except a few buildings in the center of town
and the Prut bridges nothing was touched..
There were no battles and Czernowitz was not a fortress.
That is why Cz kept its medieval charm.
It lost its Jewishness but this you don’t notice by appearance. I do.
Many towns were declared fortresses and were wiped off the map
Like Warsaw, Breslau,Budapest and many more.
Czernowitz was not a heroic city.Not a bastion.
A town in the shadow of events.

That raises an interesting question. During the Holocaust, does anyone know roughly what percentage of Czernowitz was destroyed? I know that many places were rebuilt after the holocaust with little original architecture. So many places practically wiped off the map.
For example, after the holocaust, Kolomea/Kolomyja had few buildings, no native residents and a number of displaced Russian pig farmers.
Things have been built but very little was left. After the war, I can only be sentimental about a place which is no longer recognizable. It doesn't sound like Czernowitz had the same fate.
