Hi Hardy,
Thanks for the picture from 1941, when all Germans of the northern Bukovina
hoped for a better life in Germany..
After Hitlers call "Heim ins Reich", 12.000 Germans were transferred to
Silesia, where , the Jewish homes, after their deportation, were empty, or
to Austria, they had many empty apartments from deported Jews too. After
their arriving in "the Reich", young boys were incorporated in the SS as
soldiers and after a short instruction up to the frontlines, mostly to
Poland...The "frontlines "were in the woods near Lodz, were the deported
Jews from the polish ghettos were shot, but before, they must make their
grave, naked without clothes and than ,on the bord of the big grave, they
were shot, falling directly in the mass-grave...men, women, children , here
the young soldiers from Bukowina learnt how to kill. Where are travelling
our Jewish friends, asked some Germans, who had Jewish friends.... To work,
to Poland, was the answer .and the Germans did not ask further, they knew
that in a totalitarian state it is not allowed to ask too much...
.The police/comissair Dr. Friedrich Kuczinski lived in the house of my
grandmother and his twin/sons Willy and Fritz were 3 years older than
me...so known as very cruel to the comunists..he went also with the Germans
to "The Reiosch," his sons were taken to instructions, put in the SS and
sent to Poland...After the war I was told that Willy was captured by the
partisans and hanged, and Fritz was shot also in Poland...
Like every old women, who lived the European history can tell stories
about life and death..
Shabbat Shalom, have a noce week/end and regards
Hedwig

They left voluntarily after Hitlers call for all Germans to come home.
They didn’t come back.
