Yosef...
Thank you very much for your remark. In order to integrate it into the hist=
orical context of summer 1942, let me quote a paragraph from Svitlana Frunc=
hak's dissertation "THE MAKING OF SOVIET CHERNIVTSI" (to be released as "Bo=
ok of the Month, January 2016 at our Czernowitz Book Corner):
"The chaos that arose around authorizations for exemption from deportations=
also frustrated Romanian central authorities who were against them in the =
first place. Later in the fall of 1941, Calotescu organized a special commi=
ssion to investigate the process of exemptions. As a result, a number of au=
thorizations were annulled and their holders deported. After the fall commi=
ssion, a new set of authorizations to stay in the city (around 5,000) was s=
igned by Popovici. In June of 1942, Popovici was fired from the mayor’s p=
osition and the entire second wave of authorizations (the so-called “Popo=
vici’s authorizations”), were annulled by the Romanian government. The =
deportations resumed, and, according to Romanian statistics, 4,790 Jews wer=
e sent to Transnistria between June and September of 1942, and many more la=
ter on during the war. Vladimir Solonari estimates that in February 1942 th=
ere were still more than 21,000 Jews in Chernivtsi; in the summer of 1942 w=
hen deportation resumed, 11,000 Jews were deported from the city. Chernivts=
i became a place of survival for more than 800 Polish Jews who had fled Pol=
and at the beginning of the German occupation in 1939 and chose to go to Ch=
ernivtsi, whether because they had relatives in the city or simply because =
they knew about the size and influence of the local Jewish community. A con=
sul of Chile in Chernivtsi, Degozh Shymanovich, saved many Jews by issuing =
Chilean passports to them and assisting in their emigration until his activ=
ity was uncovered and the consulate liquidated by Romanian authorities."
