RE: Bukowina and Galicia

I assume this was after 1919 and not during the Austrian period?? Cornel

Passport control stations between Galicia and Bukowina were located in
Nepolocauti in the Bukowina side and in Oroszeny in the Galicia side.
I know this from my mother, Pepi (born MUNSTER) LOEFFLER who was born in
Nepolocauti.
My grandparents, Avraham Yitzhak and Sarah MUNSTER lived from 1918 opposite
the Nepolocauti train station, and until the Holocaust rented rooms to the
Romanian border control supervisors. All trains that were crossing stoped
for passport control.
My grandfather shared a logging business with two of his brothers, Menashe
and Meshulam MUNSTER. Menashe lived also in Nepolocauti. Their business
appears in the 1929 Bukowina business directory as "Lemne (Deposit)".
Meshulam lived in Zalucze, accross the border in Galicia. Meshulam used to
be in charge of the logging, he would send the logs floating on the Prut
river across the border to Nepolocauti, were both my grandfather and his
brother processed the wood, store it and sold it. My aunt, Chaia -alive in
Hebrew (born MUNSTER) GANZACH (who is 89 years old and very alive in Ramat
Aviv, Israel) told me about an incident she remembers as a small child - she

went with her father to visit the uncle accross the border in Galicia, as
her father was doing almost weekly. On the way there, there was no need for
a passport, because the border control supervisors in both sides knew him
very well. But on the way back, in the Oroszeny border control, a new
hostile Polish supervisor demanded the passport and my grandfather realized
that he forgot it at home. The Polish were going to arrest him, Chaia
remembered being very scared; luckily they let him call his tenant, the
supervisor from Bukowina, who arranged to release him.
Very sadly, all three brothers perished in the Holocaust.
