Re: "die Stimme"

Yet another opinion on die Stimme:

Maybe a German-English version would be of interest as I am fluent in both.
As a granddaughter of a Sadagora/Czernowitz grandma and daughter of a mother
born in Cz., I have a deep interest in my heritage. My grandmother told me,
as a child, "lehr daitsch". I did what I was told, little knowing that she
was speaking Yiddisch, claimed she was speaking German, and remembering the
old days before the Wars.

So that's why I learned German and am interested in a Germna/English
version.
