Hi! On one of my Czernowitz trips I met a large group of mixed Canadians and
Americans who were descendants of some of the Bukowina Germans. They told me
that a significant minority continued on to the US and from there to Canada
instead of staying in the Reich. Cornel.

Subject: Heim ins Reich / Back to the Reich Resettlement from Bukovina

Czernowitzers...

Following the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the occuptaion of Northern
Bukovina in June 1940, about 187,000 Bukovinians of German origin left
Northern Bukovina during the so called "Heim ins Reich / Back to the Reich
Resettlement" between September - December 1940. Among them was the
Czernowitzer author Georg Drozdowski (1899-1987), like Gregor von Rezzori, a
typical inhabitant of the imaginary land called "Maghrebinia", a bit bon
vivant, a bit bohemian, a bit hedonist.

A new German book by Günther F. Guggenberger "Georg Drozdowski in
literarischen Feldern zwischen Czernowitz und Berlin (1920–1945)" is
focussed on Georg Drozdowski's oeuvre and biography. Dr. Mariana
Hausleitner, the historian and author of "The Romanization of Bukovina" and
many other works, published a review on Günther F. Guggenberger's above
mentioned book:

Both, Mariana's and my question is as follows: Is anybody out there, who is
aware of Bukovinian Jews, who took the opportunity of the "Heim ins Reich /
Back to the Reich Resettlement" to escape, hidden among the Bukovinians of
German origin, from the Soviet occupation and the following deportations to
Siberia? There are reports on some, of course, just very few of such cases,
but unfortunately there is no evidence on their fate after WWII. Does that
event ring a bell? Please let us know and thank you all in advance!
