Hello Boris
I am writing from Australia. My mother Cilli Zydower, nee Zacharias was born
in Czernowitz in July 1918, and with remnants of her family spent three
years in Bershad, Transnistria,
I wrote the following in a family history I am preparing for my
grandchildren:
" The return to their home city of Czernowitz was achieved through
frightening stages of journeys by horse and cart and on foot, only to find
that their homes had been occupied by aggressive locals who would not even
allow them to check for abandoned possessions. Cilli managed to convince one
occupier to let her rummage through a cabinet drawer where she found several
precious old photos. Unfortunately none were of her parents and thus their
descendants would not know for years how their grandparents looked. The
remaining family (Cilli, her two sisters and their 2 small children) stayed
in now Russian-occupied Czernowitz for a couple of years. Cilli managed to
find back-breaking and hand-burning work in a bakery which helped support
them all. Eventually, it became apparent that remaining under Soviet rule
was not sensible, and they travelled to Timisoara, a Hungarian city near the
Romanian border, staying there 3 years and in 1949 making Aliyah to the
newly founded State of Israel."
