I think I wrote about this. My mother's aunt - Charlotte Lotte Weiner who
moved to Berlin from her hometown Storozhinetz in the twenties of last
century, and survived there through WW2 because she kept her Romanian
Passport.

Subject: RE: [Cz-L] A question about the deportation of Czernowiters to
Auschwitz
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
from Bukovina left for Western European countries looking for new
educational and professional perspectives; my father Julius Hauster f. i.
went to Grenoble in France, his brother Maximilian, who perished in
Auschwitz, went to Brussels in Belgium. Many of these expatriates, who
subsequently lost their Romanian citizenship and usually didn�t get any
protection against Nazi persecutions by their host countries (see Belgium),
were deported to and perished in Auschwitz and/or other
concentration/extermination camps.
But Auschwitz was not the �Final Solution� for the Jews from Bukovina as
part of Romania, but by a fraction of an inch the BELZEC EXTERMINAION CAMP
could have been!
The Jewish Virtual Library gets to the point: �According to the statistical
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 deportation of
Jews from Romania. On July 22, 1942, [Gustav] Richter [German official in
charge for Jewish affairs in Romania] obtained Vice-Premier Mihai Antonescu�s
agreement to begin the deportation of Jews to Poland [Belzec Extermination
Camp] in September. However, as a result of the efforts of the clandestine
Jewish leadership, foreign diplomatic pressure, and pressure by the papal
nuncio, A. Cassulo, Ion Antonescu canceled the agreement.�
Read more at the FINAL REPORT of the International Commission on the
Holocaust in Romania:
http://www.ushmm.org/m/pdfs/20080226-romania-commission-holocaust-history.pdf
Although the chapter above (p. 75-81) is headlined "Romanian and German
Plans to Eliminate the Jews from Regat and Southern Transylvania", the
"Final Solution" as conceived by Adolf Eichmann and his aide Gustav Richter,
included the entire Romanian Jewry, i. e. the Jews from Bukovina too! As I
mentioned before, by a fraction of an inch...?!
I do hope these data will be useful to you (and others), dear Simon. Warmest
wishes!
