Mimi Since I was not there to experience it, I am not familiar with all
that happened in Czernowitz between 1940 and 1945
I don't fully understand what the Soviets did and why they did it. And
what happened to those they deported to Siberia? Were they better off than
those who were left behind?
And who did all the murders and deportations after the Soviets abandoned
the city? Weren't the Ukrainians and Rumanians as savage and murderous as
the Nazis?
How was it that many Jews were killed outright or died in Transnistria
while others seemed to live in relative safety?
What happened to the Jews after the Red Army "liberated" Czernowitz?
Did they return there from Transnistria? Did those who were living in the
city remain there after the Soviets took over?
Is all forgotten and forgiven by the Czernowitz Jews for what their
neighbors did to them 70 years ago?
All the answers to these questions are not clear to me.
