Re: [Cz-L] Discrimination Thread

Berti,

Thanks for the information. I will be in Czernowitz again this spring
or summer
and will inquire into this. Not that I expect to ever get any
property back,
just out of curiosity.
Next to the house in which we lived during the war, on the Schmidtgasse,
there is quite a nice single family house, which belonged to a
Ukrainian family.
It now and for the last seven years, stands empty and abandoned.
Being a nice house in a relatively central location, I wonder why no
one lives in it.
