- (Aired 02/12/2023) Channel NYCTV-life (WNYE) - (RTVNY). “Once upon a time in Bukovina”. The documentary photography exhibition organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute in NY on January 27, 2023, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, features photography that documents aspects of the history of the Jewish population in Suceava, Romania, before and after their deportation to Transnistria in 1941 and builds on the homonymous book of memories “Once upon a time in Suceava - Bukovina,” a project coordinated by Lily Pauker, herself a descendent of a family of Jewish deportees.
The black and white images and the history chapter documented in the book come to life through the
participation in this commemorative event of the children of several survivors of the deportation to
Transnistria. The force of remembrance and story-telling give nuance and insight to this less known chapter of the Romanian history.
Cornel Feruta, the Romanian Ambassador at the UN, participated in the exhibition opening and the
round table discussion and was followed by Diana Dumitru, Ion Ratiu Visiting Professor in Romanian
Studies at Georgetown University, with a research interest in the Holocaust in Eastern Europe, Marius
Cazan, researcher at the “Elie Wiesel” National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Romania, and
Dorian Branea, the director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in NY, who hosted the event and
moderated the conversation.
Lily Pauker, Harry Bolner, Paul Leinburd and Eugen Weitmann, all children of Jewish deportees to
Transnistria, recalled and evoked personal and intimate experiences related to this dramatic
chapter of history and about their return, years later, to their native and beloved Bucovina. A red thread connects all these separate stories and destinies: the love and tenderness the survivors’ children expressed towards the beautiful Bucovina.
