Czernowitzers...

On Friday I've released a post on "The Elias Weinstein Petition":

In addition to this posting, please find one more - trilingual - article,
headlined "Elias Weinstein • Eyewitness of the Holocaust" at our ehpes.com
Blog:

English: Jewish Telegraphic Agency (April 24, 1944) reporting on Elias
Weinstein's aliyah;
German: Obituary published by "Die Stimme" on the 40th anniversary (March
2005) of Elias Weinstein's death;
Romanian: Wikipedia article in Wikipedia's Romanian edition.

>From the JTA report we learn as follows:

"Dr. Eliahu Weinstein, former publisher of the Czernowitzer Morgenblat, a
German language Jewish newspaper, who arrived in Palestine two weeks ago
after a danger fraught voyage across Rumania and the Black Sea to Turkey
told correspondents that of the 250,000 or 300,000 Jews who lived in
Bessarabia prior to the outbreak of the Russo-German war, only few remain.
He was deported to Transnistria on August 16, 1941 only a month after the
German-Rumanian invasion, but the province had been made almost "judenrein"
by then, Dr. Weinstein said. He disclosed that the Czernowitz ghetto was
established on November 11, 1942, [Editor's note: October 12, 1941] on the
same day that thousands of Jews in that city were murdered."

Please "stay tuned" for more - moving - documents/details on the Soviet
deportation in June 1940, opposed by Dr. Elias Eliahu weinstein!
