Re: [Cz-L] Franzos

Hi Hardy - A late reply - just returned from my month of travel -
Chernivtsy, Ekaterinburg, Amsterdam

In America we all have hyphenated identities - so what it should ideally say
is Jewish-Austrian or Jewish-Romanian or Jewish Ukrainian - because in fact
we're all also Austrian/Romanian/Ukrainian or whatever else

all best
