[Cz-L] FYI: Newly discovered book re Bukovina tragedy.WW2.

Dear list members,

I have come across an old, well-worn copy of a little book in Rumanian,
at an elderly Czernowitzer's home, with the title:
"Pogromurile din Bucovina si Dorohoi." By Marius Mircu, 1945.( Editura
GLOB Bucuresti.)

It documents every village, where pogroms took place almost all at the
same time, in particular during one 24hour period, at the beginning of
July, 1941, when the local population was given free rein by the
Rumanian army ( gen.Duca--) to do whatever they wanted to the Jews.
There are names listed, of both the victims and perpetrators, plus some
official reports of apparent 'trials' after the events!.

My Rumanian is very rusty, but if anyone wants to know what happened to
any particular village or in Czernowitz proper, please email me a fax
no. and I shall fax you the relevant pages, as I have photocopied the
book (150 pages) and enlarged the print.

It makes gruesome reading in its detail. I didn't know the extent of the
horrors which befell those communities, including my mother's family,-
the first village mentioned in the book. The same author lists other
publications: "Pogromul dela Iasi" and "to be published: Pogromurile din
Basarabia;- Teroarea din Moldova si Transilvania; -Taberele de munca; -
Lagarele cu detinuti politici."
