Yes, no doubt about, dear Cornel, there are plenty of inaccuracies and/or typos in this site, but on the other hand it displays a lot of very useful information, such as f. i. the Jewish Sites in Chernivtsi / Czernowitz:

http://en.jewishczernowitz.com/the-jewish-sites-in-chernivtsi-czernowitz/

In my opinion that's an excellent tool for Jewish Czernowitz visitors, but not only. Check it out!

Hi Cornel,

Yes, when it comes to the appearance of the Soviets in the city center of
Czernowitz, I think that the note in your family album that "Russians have
arrived today" dated 29th March is accurate. On the other hand we learn from
Rabbi Menachem Glisnshtain's website, by the way a VERY INTERESTING [new]
website for "Jewish Life in Chernivtsi"

http://en.jewishczernowitz.com/

as follows:

---
March 24, 1944 - When the Red Army was approaching Chernivtsi, using panic
in the city, several hundred Jewish families fled from Chernivtsi. The same
day, authorities in the city has moved from Romanian to German command. SS
units started shooting people directly in their homes and on the streets.
March 26, 1944 - Leading units of the Red Army entered the suburbs of
Chernivtsi. After 3 days of fighting that took place mostly outside the
city, the German-Romanian troops retreated without a chance to cause large
losses of the Jewish population of the city.
March 28, 1944 - before retreating, German units set the Residence of
Bukovinian metropolitans, on fire, hoping that this act of provocation will
cause the persecution of Jews.

It's hard to allocate the "Liberation of Czernowitz"
[http://ehpes.com/blog1/?p=2773] by the Soviets in 1944 to a single day, but
from my point of view it took place between March 26 - 29, 1944.
