[Cz-L] If I were a rich man .

"Dear God, you made many, many poor people.
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor.
But it's no great honor either!"
   sings Tevie in Fiddler on the Roof .

   Maybe no big shame in Anatevka , but in Czernowitz it was .
    A low class poor Czernowitzer did all he could to conceal his status.
      This was not easy as Czernowitz was not so big.
        The rich people didn't know all the poor people but they knew all
the rich.
         Which is about the same.
