Dear Simon,
Due to a harsh romanization, implemented by the Romanian authorities, hand =
in hand with Nazi Germany in the 1930s, many - predominantly young - Jews f=
rom Bukovina left for Western European countries looking for new educationa=
l and professional perspectives; my father Julius Hauster f. i. went to Gre=
noble in France, his brother Maximilian, who perished in Auschwitz, went to=
Brussels in Belgium. Many of these expatriates, who subsequently lost thei=
r Romanian citizenship and usually didn’t get any protection against Nazi=
persecutions by their host countries (see Belgium), were deported to and p=
erished in Auschwitz and/or other concentration/extermination camps.
But Auschwitz was not the „Final Solution“ for the Jews from Bukovina a=
s part of Romania, but by a fraction of an inch the BELZEC EXTERMINAION CAM=
P could have been!
The Jewish Virtual Library gets to the point: „According to the statistic=
al table on the potential victims of the ‚Final Solution‘ introduced at=
the Wannsee Conference, 342,000 Romanian Jews were destined for this end. =
The German embassy in Bucharest conducted an intensive propaganda campaign =
through its journal, Bukarester Tageblatt [August 8, 1942], which announced=
‚an overall European solution to the Jewish problem‘ and the deportati=
on of Jews from Romania. On July 22, 1942, [Gustav] Richter [German officia=
l in charge for Jewish affairs in Romania] obtained Vice-Premier Mihai Anto=
nescu’s agreement to begin the deportation of Jews to Poland [Belzec Exte=
rmination Camp] in September. However, as a result of the efforts of the cl=
andestine Jewish leadership, foreign diplomatic pressure, and pressure by t=
he papal nuncio, A. Cassulo, Ion Antonescu canceled the agreement.“

ust in Romania:

df
Although the chapter above (p. 75-81) is headlined "Romanian and German Pla=
ns to Eliminate the Jews from Regat and Southern Transylvania", the "Final =
Solution" as conceived by Adolf Eichmann and his aide Gustav Richter, inclu=
ded the entire Romanian Jewry, i. e. the Jews from Bukovina too! As I menti=
oned before, by a fraction of an inch...?!
I do hope these data will be useful to you (and others), dear Simon. Warmes=
t wishes!

from Czernowitz and came to live with us after the War. I was very young a=
