German, Yiddish, Polish, Romanian and Ukrainian were spoken when Czernowitz was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was the home of poets such as Paul Celan and Rose Ausländer or musicians like Joseph Schmidt. The Romanian, German and Soviet occupations destroyed the unique culture of the city. Czernowitz - Chernivtsi in Ukrainian - has a new identity: the capital of the Bucovina area is now a part of the Ukraine and dominated by Ukrainian and Russian culture. It´s a remarkable place, where many citizens are searching for the town´s roots.
