Lloyd, very good questions .not so good answers:
The Soviets werecommies and every shopkeeper was a capitalist and so sent to
Siberia.
Most survived and returned to Cz after many years with new families.
The Rumanians did some massacres in the first days of occupation.
There was also a Gestapo unit station in town and they also shot some
Jews on the streets. They also checked if the deportation went according to
plan.
The deported Jews returned from Transnistria after a Prut checkpoint
filtering
Out non Cz jews .
After all surviving jews came back they found that life in the Soviet
paradise
Was not for them. At the same time Soviet rulers thought that they would be
better off without us.
They also needed our houses and did not consider the cultural conyribution
The German Jews could make so were repatriated to a land nobody considered
his fatherland.
To look for lands where the grass was greener and air better,
Some stayed in Cz- many -and some in Rumania.
This an overview and needs correction.

Subject: [Cz-L] Czernowitz History questions
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.
