Hi Mimi, you are marvelous, but not all Cz.girls married like that...
I had a boy classmate in the Comenius-school, I learned with him at a french
"Kurs" for the bac, I was every two days to change books in the Aurora, the
owner were the parents of this boy, named Heinz Brenner and I never knew
that he has an elder brother, who was student in Prag...After my return from
Vienna,( where I was beginning to study history of arts), because Hitler
invaded Austria, I was for some days in Putna, at my best friend Anny
Rosengarten, (who was murdered with her husband in Mihailovka, over the
Bug,in 1943) and there I met my husband..I went for some days to my friend
and stayed 3 weeks...and in .three months we were married...for 60
years...So we were both Czernowitzer, but we met in an other
place....fate????? I know, this is not a story in which you are interested,
but when memories comes, apropo, marriage......
Shabbat Shalom Hedwig
