[Cz-L] Re: Long, long time ago....

Hi, Fredi,
I am delighted to hear from you ! (Hurrah ! Hurrah ! der Kaiser is da
!)
Whatever you are saying in this e-message is correct. Please see my
e-mail to you sent just a couple of minutes ago, before having opened
your present e-message. I have not heard from you since 1944 ! This is
really wonderful.

Apropos Korn - I recently met, by chance, Fredy Korn, who was living for
a rather short period of time in my neighbourhood (Martinowiczgasse ecke
Weinerowiczgasse). He told me that his brother, Friedrich, a ship
captain, recently retired from ZIM.
All the best, Abraham K.

   Dear Abraham,

   Your name and birthyear in your recent message to the Czernowitz-L =
e-mail list lit a candle (mir ist a Kertzenfabrik aufgegangen!): I =
believe we were acquainted in Czernowitz during 1940-44 (I was related =
to the Korns) and we were also briefly fellow students at the =
short-lived Jewish Gymnasium in 1944. I even vaguely remember being very =
impressed by an essay you wrote about the Golden Age of Hebrew =
Literature in Spain. So, if my memory is correct, I would be delighted =
to pick up where we left off over sixty years ago.

   I have lived in the United States since 1948 and, if our =
correspondence continues, I shall fill you in with more details. I =
visited Israel several times (I have relatives there) and hope to visit =
again next Spring.

   I wish you a Happy Hanukkah

   Regards,

   Alfred (Fredi) Schneider
