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

I was n the Ghetto, and, even though I was a child, I remember
being there in the fall. The only discrepancy that I can see in
Eytan's message is that he quotes his mother as saying that
everybody received a permit to stay in Czernowitz.
Unfortunately, only a very few of us were fortunate enough to
obtain a permit. The majority had been deported to Transnistria.
I, too do not remember exactly when the Ghetto was dismantled;
but I do remember coming back to a very cold appartment.
