Re: [Cz-L] Information on Lipcani; questions about Corjeuti

Edward,

 
I assume that you will first go to Kishinow., where you can contact Ms. Stella
Harmilina. She is the director of some Jewish organization, speaks English, and
will be able to help you find a guide, or to suggest what to do.

Her home phone: 37.3..252.7133
Office : 3 7.3. 250 9601

I hope this will help.

Good luck,

Ruth

Subject: [Cz-L] Information on Lipcani; questions about Corjeuti

Czernowitzers:

My recent request for more information about the small towns in the
region suggested to me that I should forward the recent response which I
received from BeitHatefutsoth in Tel Aviv. I had many close relatives
who lived in Lipcani, and my father and his family came from the nearby
shtetl of what is now called Corjeuti (used to be Korjevouts). Both
Corjeuti and Lipcani are now in Moldava, but Czernowitz was their main
city for commerce, as my father frequently told me. BeitHatefutsoth has
no information on Corjeuti. Does anyone have information to share on
it?

My Israeli cousins and I, and our spouses, are going to visit the entire
area, including Chernovtsi, next month and need better guidance help
than we have been able to obtain thus far.
Thanks,
Edward Roberts

-----Informaiton sent by BeitHatefutsoth in Tel Aviv-----

LIPCANI (LIPKANY) A small town in the region of Bessarabia, north
Moldavia. Between the two World Wars in Romania. There were 82 Jewish
families in Lipcany (out of a total of 203) in 1817, 4,410 persons (63%
of the total population) in 1897, and 4,693 in 1930 (79.8% of the
total).

During the first half of the 19th century the Tzaddik Meir of
Peremyshlyany lived in the town for several years. The writers Judah
Steinberg and EliezerSteinberg were born in Lipcany.

In the second World War, when the town was taken on July 8, 1941, by
German-Romanian forces, they carried out a pogrom the same day in which
many Jews were killed (no figures are available on the number). The
soldiers went from house to house, robbing and murdering the
inhabitants. The survivors (about 4,000) were taken to a forest near
Vertyuzhany and from there were sent on a death march which took them to
Sekiryany, Yedintsy, and Khotin, and back to Yedintsy; the old, the
sick, and the children, who were unable to withstand the pace, were shot
on the journey. From Yedintsy, the survivors were deported to
Transnistria, where most of them perished.

Only a few dozen Jewish families from Lipcany were saved by the arrival
of the Soviet army. Almost all the young Jews from the town who joined
the Soviet army at the beginning of the war were either killed or
returned as invalids. One Jew from Lipcany, Abram Schneider, was
decorated as a "Hero of the Soviet Union".
