Re: [Cz-L] Kronland Bukowina.

Hi
What you wrote about the relationship between landlords and tenants, and
Catholicism in Galitzia, is certainly true. What I can deduce from the
research of my family's history about the benefits that drew people from
Galitzia (and other lands) to Bukowina was that despite a few great
landlords (Boieri) there was an abundance of free arable land. For the Jews
there was an additional benefit in the fact that they were allowed to
cultivate plots of land (Acker Juden). As for Graf Potocki who was a known
concept of great wealth - a small anecdote. One of the sites where we
"spent" some time in Transnistria was the Ghetto of Tulchin. When in 2001 on
my trip to Transnistria I went to Tulchin I was directed to the office of
the Jewish community located at the Palace of Graf Potocki. I was amazed to
find a huge Mansion with a fantastic Palace, in state of total run-down
negligence (Customary to the notorious management in these places) where, in
a remote corner I found the room that hosted the office of the small Jewish
community.
