RE: [Cz-L] Request for testimonies

Dear Flo,

I recommend you 2 books written by our dear List- friends Lucca and Hedwig.
1. Lucca (Ginsburg) started keeping a diary at age 11-12. The relevant
chapters of the book give us an insight into a young girls thoughts and
feelings during 1941-44 in Cz. It's written in English: "A Reason Why"
2. Hedwig Brenner , then a married, 23 years old (young) woman ,describes
many events and persons and some of her courageous positive actions during
the hard times in Cz. The book is written in German : "Mein 20.
Jahrhundert" ( "My 20th Century")
Have you read these books?
Shabbat Shalom
Irene

Subject: [Cz-L] Request for testimonies

Dear friends of the list,
I am writing just now an article for a French review about the Jews which
remained during all the war in Czernowitz.
I speak for several weeks with a wonderful lady, more than 90 years old. She
remained during all the period in Czernowitz and we speak a lot about the
daily life during these years (June 1940 - June 1941, then June 1941 - May
1944).
I would have a general request and two more precise ones.
The general request: I would be very interested by all the testimonies or
memories of the period, especially as regards personal stories or anecdotes.
The specific requests; The lady told me that the limits of the ghetto
changed each time the Romanian authorities had succeeded in evacuating the
Jews of a street to send them in Transnistria. At this moment, the wood
fence of the ghetto was moved to the next street. Somebody knows about this
fact?
My informer also said to me that, in the perimeter of the ghetto, not only
Jews remained. For example, she had a Rumanian neighbor. On this question
also, I would have liked to have other testimonies.
I will be obviously very interested to receive all possible memories on this
period.
I thank you so much in advance.
Dr. Florence Heymann
