Czernowitzers... A new edition of “Die Stimme”, the monthly Newsletter for the Bukovinians, was published on 01-OCT-1946. Let's take a journey into the past together to comprehend what moved our ancestors, their relatives and friends back then!
The perennial issue of “CITIZENSHIP” is once again weighing heavily on the Bukovinian Jews. This is not a theoretical question, but a matter of bare survival in the post-war period characterized by hunger, cold and housing shortages: „Well, Hitler is long gone and expiatory justice has also reached Marshal Antonescu. But the part of the North Bukovinian Jews who were rescued from deportation are once again struggling - for how many times? - for citizenship. The same Romanian citizenship that they gained and lost in the demonic game of forces - this Romanian citizenship is now being taken away from them because - well, because they lived under Russian rule for a few months, or rather because the territory they came from fell to Moscow. [...] In the meantime, after all the persecution and sacrifices, the remnants of the North Bukovinian Jews, whose number can be estimated at around 30,000, are once again strangers in the country where they were still equal citizens yesterday.“ https://www.difmoe.eu/uuid/uuid:fa000942-3479-4c78-a1a3-b74d7ed7ef30 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!
