Hi,
 I do not know to whom this will go but here are some of my curricula:
My name is Elvira Schaffer. My mother's name was Sophie Engler, father
David Schaffer. He died in Israel.

My grandfather from my father's side had a bakery in Czernovitz,
Razboiene 66 (Brauhausgasse)
This bakery was sold to Kelmer who became my first husband after he came
back from Transniestra.

While the Germans were in Romania our street was in the Ghetto.
I went to Romanian school. Later for 2 years when the Russian came I
went to Russian school.

The Romanian repatriated my grandfather from my mother's side (he was
once a Sef de Gara) employee back to Romania and so we ended up in
Timisoara. (when Czernovitz became Russia)
After this we lived in Timisoara till we immigrated to Israel.
I had a son; Boris Kelmer who died recently in Edmonton, Canada.
I live now here and have 3 grandchildren.
I had no contact with anyone since my mother, father and many relatives
died out.
I met Gerta Wingert in Paris many years ago and stayed in contact with
her.
I do have a cousin who lives in New York her name is Gerda Chester.
And a cousin in Afula, Israel, Roland Kimelman.

I was 11 or 12 years old when all this happened. I did not go to any
Lager.
I seldom think about the things or times and the many happenings. It is
now the first time that I think back.
I got married again and now my name is; Elvira Leibovitz.
If you think that there is anyone who can remember my family or me I
would be grateful.

I am 75 years old.
