Dear Marion and dear Benjamin, Thank you so much for your very appreciative words. The period 1936-1940 is indeed a relative blank spot for Bukovina and Czernowitz and in this respect every source helps us.
But let's not forget that your numerous publications have made such an essential contribution to the understanding and preservation of Bukovina's Jewish heritage. I would like to highlight the following books in particular: Selma Merbaum - Ich habe keine Zeit gehabt zu Ende zu schreiben (revised and supplemented new edition) https://zuklampen.de/buecher/sachbuch/geschichte/bk/1273-ich-habe-keine-zeit-gehabt-zuende-zu-schreiben.html Schwarze Milch - Zurückgehaltene Briefe aus den Todeslagern Transnistriens [Black Milk - Withheld Letters from the Transnistrian Death Camps] (transcribed and translated into German, Ukrainian, Romanian and English) https://www.studienverlag.at/buecher/5197/schwarze-milch/ Thank you once again for your feedback and I wish you and everyone a great weekend and a good week ahead, which I believe will be full of history in the making.

There is still so much to learn... Three years after publication, Joseph Eshet wrote to me: not only were he and his parents in the Cariera de piatra camp with Selma, but they even shared the same barrack. Joseph was six years old at the time. Selma looked after the children in the camp to protect them from the cruelty. She taught them a lot about nature. Joseph's valuable information has been included in the new edition of my book. Once again, thank you and all members for this valuable block and the incredible work against forgetting. Today the links to the marriage and death dates... I appreciate ever so much. With many thanks, Marion Marion Tauschwitz - Sitzbuchweg 43 - 69118 Heidelberg - 0049 6221/80 54 37 - www.marion-tauschwitz.de - Mitglied im PEN-Zentrum Deutschland - Erste Vorsitzende GEDOK Heidelberg Gesendet: Montag, 13. Januar 2025 um 17:35 Von: "Edgar Hauster" <[email protected]> An: "Czernowitz Discussion Group" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Betreff: Re:[czernowitz-l] Czernowitzer Deutsche Tagespost - Obituaries & Marriage Notices 1936-1940 - COMPLETED Dear Ellen, You wrote: I saw your post that includes obituary links from 1936-1940. I was interested in the obit for Solomon Katz in 1939. However when I clicked on the link I could not locate obituaries. Not knowing German I did use google translation but to no avail. I’m probably doing something wrong. Can someone help me out? First of all hafe at the newspaper clipping and discover Salomon Katz, 70 years old, Asachi Street no. 4. Well, if you are clicking on the hyperlink in the list, you will be taken to the newspaper page containing the death or marriage announcement respectively. Even if you can read German, it is difficult to read the old German script. At the top left you will discover the “T” symbol. This is a tool for transcribing the text, but we have to admit that the AI also has its limits and the transcriptions are quite faulty; nevertheless, this would be an option to get ahead, possibly with the help of an online translator. I hope I have helped you and others with this hint. Warmest wishes!

Published between 1924-1940, the the Czernowitzer Deutsche Tagespost [Czernowitz German Daily Post] was a staunchly nationalist-ethnic paper and after 1933 a mouthpiece of the German Reich Ministry of Propaganda. Normally a NO-GO, BUT: While the newspaper agitated against Czernowitz Jews and marginalized them, it nevertheless recorded the WEDDINGS & DEATHS in the city with Teutonic thoroughness. ON THIS BASIS WE HAVE CREATED A DATABASE FOR THE YEARS 1936-1940, DISPLAYING 8,116 DEATHS AND 3,754 MARRIAGES: http://czernowitz.blogspot.com/2009/11/joy-sorrow.html WHY IS THE DATABASE SO SIGNIFICANT FOR THE INTERWAR PERIOD IN CZERNOWITZ? • There is virtually no publicly available data for this period; the data at FamilySearch ends in 1929 and the local archives have other priorities at the moment. • From 1930 onwards, the civil status data (births, marriages, deaths) in Bukovina were no longer kept separately by denomination, but centrally at the registry offices. • From 1936-1940, the Czernowitzer Deutsche Tagespost published the marriages and deaths almost daily according to the information from the Czernowitz registry office. • The reports often also contain addresses and professions, which are on display in the respective newspaper editions and can be accessed via hyperlinks. We wish you genealogical hits with the new resource and we'd like to invite you to share your discoveries with us!
