Dear Mimi,
> Please, not so prudish, and don't worry, we won't think of your family as being

> The Fruchter story Hardy tells so well and so movingly, is morally not
to be approved of, yet Czernowitz had other, much more immoral stories to offer.
Have you never heard of the naked dancing parties in which some of the
> nobles and the jeunesse dorée of Czernowitz took part, i.e. Baron Flondor,
which were once disrupted by the police? I think that's worse,
they had no other worries apparently.
> And I know of two cases of families in Czernowitz, where wives were
> bought for a high sum from the husbands, only to be returned to them
a few years after. This will certainly not appear in any book. Plotkes.
> By the way - are you related to some Wiznitzers who lived on the Dutch
> island of Curacao, or to Salo Weisselberger who lives in Caracas? Does
> anyone from the List know them?
