The Holocaust Chapter.
All critics objecting that the Czernowitz Holocaust was of a different
character
than the one in Poland and Ukraina are pefectly right.
I should know , I experienced it first hand .
Why was Czernowitz exceptional in this respect - can somebody explain?
Looking for pictures from Czernowitz of those black years of 1941-44
I encountered the memorial stone of the 400 Jews shot at the Prut in
the first week of the war and I wonder if our fate was so much
different.
But different it was , in many ways . Why was it so, why was our
status
different ?
But the Holocaust, in its worst, brutal manifestations will
always
be a part of our collective memory.
No matter if we lived in Czernowitz, Lodz or NY City.
Having the Holocaust in our presentation is only right.
As much as tried, I found no photografic evidence of Czernowitz
Jewish
life of that period.
Obviously our people were not in a photografic mood.
They had more important things to do.
