Re: [Cz-L] Are you from Rumania ?

Servus,

Your mentioning of "Aurora" brought back memories: this was not only a book
lending library but a substantial book dealer, primarily in German books,
where my father who was a bibliophile often shopped. There were two other
Jewish-owned bookstores selling German books on the Herrengasse: "Literaria"
and "Eminescu", the latter in the same building where the offices of the
"Allgemeine Zeitung" was housed. This was another evidence for the lasting
interest many Jews in Czernowitz retained in "die Sprache der Moerderer"
(the language of the murderers - to quote Paul Celan), as late as 1940.
