Dear Fred,

Can you remember whether people in Czernowitz had expected Germany to attack
the Soviet Union and to bomb the Czernowitz airport? I was too young at the
time to understand what was going on. In my mind I had connected the bombing
of the airport with the earthquake which had occurred just shortly before.
We were living on the Blumengasse at the time, relatively close to the
airport. My father and my uncle who lived with us, climbed on the roof to
better see what was happening at the airport and my mother was angry because
she thought that they took unnecessary risks in doing this.
That day was the beginning of the end.
Not only " A fost odata ca niciodata", but also "si daca nu s'a fi fost, nu
s'a povesti"
Please povestiti mai mult,

Mimi
