  Dear Melita, I just had a phonecall from the publisher of "Die Stimme" ,
  the Bucovina paper which comes out once a month.
  Mr. J. Weiner asked me to contact the person who has the list of names on
  the graves of the Bucovina cemetery. Many people in Israel and abroad plan a
  trip to the old home this spring and summer and it would be very useful for
  them to know how and where to look when searching for tombs of family members
  and friends.
  Is there a possibility to let them have such a list?
  Thanks in advance,
  Lucca

      charset=iso-8859-1Content-transfer-encoding: 7BITDear
      Merle,I don't know exactly what the cemetery register
      transcriptionrepresents....When I returned to Czernowitz after so
      many decades, I visited thecemetery there with a picture of my
      grandmother's grave who died and wasburied there in 1931. The photo
      was supposed to help me find her grave, butwhen I faced the
      destruction and the complete state of neglect there, I knewthat I did
      not have a chance.The name of my grandmother: Malka
      Weisinger.While I stood there sad and helpless, a man approached
      me and said: Thetomb stones right in front, which means the once
      located in the front rows,can still be seen and identified. What you
      are looking for....I greatlydoubt that you will be able to locate this
      grave!The man who talked to me turned out to be Mathias Zwilling,
      who had shareda school bench with me in the Meisler School. I
      remembered him as a pale anddelicate child, very spoiled, or rather
      very protected by his mother who wasa pediatrician. He had a
      photo in his pocket of the children of the 4thgrade, the kind of
      photo which is taken at the end of the school year ofpupils together
      with teachers. He always hoped to find former schoolfriends,
      just like I did - do.Anyway, this photo marked the end of 4
      elemtary school years, as well asthe end of our carefree
      childhood.It was the memorable year of 1940.Mathias never left
      Czernowitz. He finished his studies and became anengineer, and now, as
      a pensioner, he tried to exist on 10 dollars a month.He told me
      furthermore that he tutored some children in math and physics,thus
      trying to improve his income, but the demand for private lessons
      exists, and sometimes doesn't.Back in Israel we corresponded for a
      while, but then one day I wasnotified of his death. I mourned him as
      well as his sad and wasted life.Getting back to the initial
      subject, do you think there is a way to findmy grandmother's tomb?
      Hers was a sturdy and upright headstone. She diedwhen I was one year
      old.All the best to all of
  you,Lucca</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
