Re: [Cz-L] request Information - Chernovich ghetto

My mother, Pearl Fichman, dated the start of the Czernowitz ghetto as
October 11, in her memoirs Before Memories Fade (p. 77), "On Simchat Torah, October
11, 1941, on a cold, windy Saturday morning, there appeared notices") as
does The Holocaust in Romania by Radu Ioanid (pp. 130, 141). General Calotescu
issued the local order on October 10 (Ioanid, p. 156). According, again, to my
mother's memoirs, Calotescu was following orders from Berlin, orders she saw
displayed at the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam (p. 77).

I believe my mother's writing indicates the ghetto was dismantled upon the
issue of the 'Popovici papers', but she does not give a date. "The Mayor, Dori
Popovici, a decent man, who had lived all his life in Czernowitz and was
friendly toward the Jewish population, got the consent from Bucharest to
dismantle the Ghetto and everybody to receive a permit signed by him" (p. 81). I
think the Popovici papers were issued near the end of November, 1941, (based on
looking at Mimi Taylor's November 27, 1941 family documents posted at
http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/ (accessed 01.14.2007) and considering my mother's
account.

I know there are better informed historians than me on this list, so
hopefully they will answer more fully and correct any of my mistakes.

Dear Sir,

I need Information regarding the Chernovich ghetto.

Do you know how long the Chernovich ghetto existed? I know it was
established in 10 October 1941 but until when?

Thank You for your help
