[Cz-L] new member

Hello everyone,

I am a new member to this group, Peggy (40 yrs old) second generation
living in Melbourne Australia.

I am the daughter of Marcel and Selma Krauthammer (76 years old each)
now living in Melbourne Australia. My mother was nee Horn, daughter of
Anna Horn ( nee Speiler dec). My parents lived in Czernowitz during WW2
and my mother's family taken to Trisnesti camp for three years. She and
her sister (Felicia) and mother (Anna Horn nee Speiler) and father
(Benno Horn) were taken to camp. Sadly her father Benno did not survive
the camp but she, her sister and mother were able to get a permit to
come to Australia after the camp was liberated by the Russians (she
walked for three weeks with a group back to Cznerowitz). My father's
family were fortunate in not being taken to camp. My father's parents
were Netti and Froim Krauthammer and had two brothers (Arthur dec
Israel) and Dago (Florida) and a sister (Bertha dec Melbourne Aus). He
came to Australia via Israel. Froim (dad's father) had a sweets factory
(chocolates), and mother's family had a haberdashery shop in Czernowitz
before the war.

I have many stories and happy to have found this group. If anyone knows
either of my parents families or would like to correspond generally,
please contact me :-)
