Summary/Abstract: The publication “Die Stimme” [The Voice], which appeared in German in Tel Aviv between 1944 and 2017, is a valuable corpus for historical and linguistic research. Originally established with the aim of strengthening the cohesion of Jews who had fled from Bukovina to Palestine (Eretz Israel) and to support their integration into the new homeland, it became in time the most important publication of Bukovinian Jews in the world. In this work we want to highlight the fact that Bukovinaʼs cultural tradition and the German language remained for a long time (after the Holocaust and even after the establishment of the State of Israel, in 1948) essential components of the identity of the Bukovinian Jews everywhere. The corpus is also important for sociological and anthropological research, because it contains information not only about the elites of the Bukovinian Jews, but also about the daily life of simple people, with troubles, nostalgia and small satisfactions.
