Abstract:
In February-April 1946, the Soviet authorities in Ukraine expelled more than 22,000 Jews from northern Bukovina (Chernivtsi province of Ukraine) to Romania. The operation differed significantly from the "repatriation" of former Polish Jews to Poland, because it was not accompanied by the repatriation of non-Jewish Romanians, there were no bi-lateral agreements with Romania on this point, and pressure was exerted on the Jews of the Chernivtsi province to leave. The language of the official Soviet correspondence on the matter is pejorative towards the Jews. Contends that the motives of the Soviets in carrying out this expulsion was not compassion for the former victims of Transnistria, and not the changed Soviet attitude toward Jewish immigration to Palestine, but the desire to Ukrainize recently-annexed northern Bukovina. Pp. 63-75 contain a sample of Soviet documents on the expulsion.
Note:
Pp. 63-75 contain documents.
