Geschichten aus Czernowitz und Israel
Description:... Memoirs of a Jew born in 1921 in Czernowitz, Bukovina. In 1941 she and her husband were interned in the ghetto; later they managed to escape from a cattle car headed for Transnistria. Having learned the goldsmith trade, Gross found work in a jewelry store owned by a Romanian and obtained the status of being economically irreplaceable. Her husband was sent for forced labor to Romania for six months, and then returned. Deportations continued and they were often forced to hide. The danger diminished with the defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad, and in March 1944 the Soviets returned. In 1946 Gross and her husband moved to Bucharest, and in 1950 they emigrated to Israel.
