Czernowitz
(Chernovtsy, Cernauti) was the district center of the Chernovtsy
Oblast and former capital of the Bukovina province. On October 11,
by order of District Governor Corneliu Calotescu, all the Jews of
Czernowitz—more than 50,000—were confined to an area of
several side-streets, and representatives of the Romanian National
Bank confiscated their belongings and property. |
