Would like to draw your attention to a book by
Florence Heymann titled "Le Crepusule des Lieux"
(Paris, Stock 2003) which is dedicated to the Jewish
history of Czernowitz (nowadays in the Ukraine,
previously Romania and Bukovina and Austro-Hungarian
Empire) in the 19th and 20th centuries.The author,is an
anthropologist who lives in Jerusalem. Her paternal
origins are in Czernowitz(Hirschman family).

Last week she published a book about Leopold Weiss who
was born in Lwow in 1900(his grandfather was a rabbi
in Czernowitz) and who converted to Islam and changed
his name to Muhammad Asad. In the 1950s he was
Pakistan's Ambassador to the U.N.
