Re: [Cz-L] More for you. "Harvest of Blossoms" introduction now available at the Museum of Family History

My mother, Pearl Spiegel Fichman wrote a chapter in her book, Before
Memories Fade, about "Selma and her Friends." if you go to

http://www.ibiblio.org/yiddish/Places/Czernowitz/Fichman/

and click on chapter 23, "Selma and her Friends," you can read it.

Subject: [Cz-L] More for you. "Harvest of Blossoms" introduction now
available at the Museum of Family History


Greetings, 
 
With the permissions of the editors, I have created a webpage
containing the entire introduction of the book "Harvest of Blossoms:
Poems from a Life Cut Short," a book of poems, translated from German
into English (and other languages), written by native Czernowitzer
Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger. Selma, at the tender age of fourteen, perished
in a Nazi SS camp (on December 17, 1942). Selma wrote more than fifty
poems in German and translated another five from Yiddish, French, and
Romanian. 
 
The webpage is now available for viewing. I don't know how many of you
are familiar with the book, but the introduction is moving and
definitely worth reading. The link is: 
www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/cz-meerbaum-eisinger.htm. I have offered
up the idea to the book editors, Irene and Helene Silverblatt, to have
a young lady (perhaps around fourteen years of age, the age of Selma
before she died), who might have a similar accent (German?), read a
poem or two from the book of poetry (in both its original language of
German, and also in English), and include these sound clips to the page
I've already created. Certainly, this would add a special dimension to
the current presentation. Now all I have to do is find a young lady
with these qualifications to do it! 
 
Also, the Scherzer Czernowitz lecture page has been finished and is now
awaiting the final okay from Prof. Scherzer. 
 
By the way, you will also find mention of Prof. Julius Scherzer and his
family in the intro to the book of poetry. There are links at the
bottom of the Meerbaum-Eisinger page for those who wish to purchase it
online. 
 
Best,
