The other day I heard on the radio the long-forgotten hymn of
communist Russia and I suddenly remembered the time when, as a
ten-year old, I sang this hymn along with the other pupils in my
class, standing at attention and knowing all the words. There were
other hymns before that, my parents, incidentally, knew only the
Austrian "May God save the emperor".

I, starting first grade, sang the Rumanian hymn "Long live the King"
under the Rumanian flag. Then the Russian communists invaded our city
and ruled for about a full year after which the Rumanians returned
with full Nazi support.. Unfortunate jews were sent to the camps,
the luckier ones stayedg behind in our graceful, beautiful city,
under the worst possible circumstances; we lived and walked on egg
shells, frightened of what the next day, or night, may bring. Until
the day when our town went up in flames and the Russians came back.
This time, who ever could, left Czernowitz, first to the South of
the Bucovina and then to places all over the world, somewhere else in
Europe, the U.S., Australia and finally to Israel..

At the present time I am a member of the so-called Czernowitz List.
We are a group of people connected by e-mail, exchanging childhood
memories, opinions, ideas and arguments..
