RE: [Cz-L] Discrimination Thread

Hi Berti...I knew the bit about the Romanians....but being very brave they
all departed in haste when the sound of Russian artillery became noticeable
thus leaving empty apartments again. Cornel

 You are right about nearly everything, except:

1) The Romanians in 1941/2 took a lot of apartments from the Jews who
stayed in Czernowitz. It was not a general decision to take the
apartments but any Romanian official had the right to requisition
flats that were occupied or belonged to Jews and most larger
apartments were taken away if they were not in the Jewish quarter
and some even there.

2) The Soviets did not confiscate all private property.Owners of
single apartments were allowed to keep them and provided they were not
deported later as former "capitalists" were allowed in 1944 to confirm
former registration of ownership.I know of both cases by what happened
to my family, and also to some friends and acquaintances.

It is almost certain that to-day a part of those apartments are in new
property, but most are still rented. At the time we left Cz. in 1945
there was no possibility to sell an officially owned apartment but you
could rent it for a period of three years getting the rent in advance,
and that gave the new occupant the right to stay on in it
indefinitely. It might well be that having such a contract gave the
new occupant later the right to be the owner or to receive in some way
belated ownership. This all of course is relevant to apartments whose
private ownership was recognized by the soviets in 1940 and later in
1945.

Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind dann leben sie noch heute.

Berti.
