Mimi,
not a small number of people stayed, didn't die, didn't become Homo Muscoven,
the vast majority didn't become Homo totalitarian, while some used tools like party
membership to acheave goals (whch other people didn't like at all).
Most returned from Siberia after the war, very few went to Siberia at that time.
There was no colectivization in Czernowith itself, as in most cities.
Humiliation and deprivation - yes, indeed - and when it was possible people left.
If we or our parents became fossilized homo Czernowitz or not I can't judge - we still thought
to be Czernowitzers and have had lots of Czernowitzer friends.
