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.

Hi Edgar!  Maybe you can help!  I have a family album..and on one page is a
comment that "Russians have arrived today" dated 29th March. I have just
looked at the entry in the Ukrainian Encyclopedia which gives the same date.
I am confused!!    Cornel.
