Thank you for sharing this - it brings back the sometimes very difficult
memories of my late parents' stories about their lives in Czernowitz.

Czernowitzers...
A new edition of “Die Stimme”, the monthly Newsletter for the Bukovinians, was
published on 28-DEC-1945. Let's take a journey into the past together to
comprehend what moved our ancestors, their relatives and friends back then!
“Die Stimme” must once again report on ‘SIBERIA’: „We continue to receive
extremely sad news from our friends and acquaintances in Siberia. People are
living under the most difficult conditions. They are to be envied if their
relatives, who live here and all over the world, have an address from them. The
situation is very bad for those fellow compatriots who have been sent to an
unknown destination and of whom no trace has been found for years. These are
mostly people who never had anything to do with politics and are only burdened
with the real or imagined “crime” that they owned land or anything else that
enabled them to live independently. All attempts by relatives to establish a
connection with the deportees in this category so far have failed.“
Dr. Markus Menczer, the former president of the Czernowitz Jewish Community,
his wife and children also lived in miserable conditions in Novy Vasyugan in
Siberia. The village, originally Mogilny Yar, was established as a penal gulag
in 1933 and was known as Novy Vasyugan after 1939. The internees in the gulags
had hoped that the end of the Second World War would bring them freedom.
However, when they realized that they were mistaken and that the Soviet power
had no intention of abolishing the criminal camp system, many of them became
desperate and a huge wave of suicides ensued.

Dr. Manfred Reifer founded the Chug Olej Bukovina [Association of Immigrants
from Bukovina] and decided to publish “Die Stimme”. He entrusted with this task
Dr. Elias Weinstein, the former editor of the renowned daily newspaper
“Czernowitzer Morgenblatt”.
I will try to let “Die Stimme” continue to resound in the future and invite you
to follow me on this journey. Your comments are highly welcome!
