Re: AW: [Cz-L] All time record

Hello Alex,

If we all were still living in Czernowitz, chances are that we would have
known each other, might have been neighbors, gone to the same school or even
intermarried. We would have met at the market, in the Herrengasse, the
Volksgarten, der Tempel, the theatre or in Cecina.

We would not have formed this list, because there would have been no need to

But the Jewish population of Czernowitz was never stationary, not even
before 1938. Many Jewish families were poor and moving to America, was one
way to improve their economic situation. Many Czernowitzer Jews left in the
1920ies because of the discrimination against Jews by the Romanian
government. I doubt whether any Jew obtained a law or medicine degree in
Czernowitz during that period. But many Jews moved to the city from the
surrounding villages and small towns, as well as from Basarabia, Poland and
part of Romania included in the old kingdom.

I believe that most of us think of Czernowitz as having had a "unique
cultural tradition", but we probably have different things in mind as to
what we mean by this. I think it would be interesting to have a discussion
on this topic. Would you Alexander and other members of the list, like to
tell us, what they think about the cultural tradition of Czernowitz?
