 Dear Eithan,
   This is most probably the house.
      It is corner Hormuzakigasse - Mehlplatz.
   The only 3 story building on the square (except the Bristol Hotel)
     at that time.
    I also had a school mate in this building : Yakob Pollack.
    His uncle Israel Pollack , a textile industrialist from Chile , later
    came to Israel and founded Polgat , the world famous textile factory.
      Israel Pollak emigrated to Chile from Czernowitz .

My late mother, Pearl Spiegel Fichman, born in 1920 in Czernowitz,
wrote about the Mehlplatz in her memoirs, Before Memories Fade:

p. 15 Czernovitz, my hometown, was my universe, the place to be. It was
a
hilly, densely populated town. We lived in a centrally located square. I
remember the house where I was born and where I lived up to the age of
fifteen. I was surrounded by parents, older brothers and sisters, very
friendly
neighbors - the youngest child among them all.
It was an old three-story building, situated on Mehlplatz (Flour
Square).
It must have been at one time a square, where traders in flour would do
their


The Mehlplatz is the older name.I think.
The Rumanians called it Piatza Dacia and it was a Ghetto limit.
As you can see ,in our time it was not an open space like it is today
;
It was a built -up square of small houses with an inner court as you
can see on the slide.
