Czernowitzers...
"For several years during the Antonescu regime - mainly between the summer of 1941 and the autumn of 1943 - Bukovina (especially Czernowitz) became Romania’s California, a new frontier where ethnic Romanian entrepreneurs could enrich themselves easily at the expense of local minorities, particularly Jews [...]."
This is the opening statement of the conclusion in Dr. Stefan Cristian Ionescu's article "'Californian' Colonists versus Local Profiteers? - The Competition for Jewish Property During the Economic Colonization of Bukovina, 1941-1943", now available at our Czernowitz Book Corner as Book of the Month, January 2018:

It was once again the prominent historian and Bukovina expert Prof. Dr. Mariana Hausleitner, who drew my attention to Dr. Stefan Cristian Ionescu's article. Besides all ideological aspects, it is very important to understand the economical motive forces as an at least equivalent motivation for the implementation of the Holocaust in Romania.
