[Cz-L] Oberjudengasse

Dear All
Maybe I'm not informed well enough but I never heard of the Oberjudengasse (Upper Jewish street) although we had relatives that lived in the Judengasse ("De Yiddishe Gass"). To my opinion this represents the atmosphere of the social aspirations of the Jewish population that strived to improve its financial and social status by moving away from the typical Shtetel-type Jewish quarter by moving to the center and upper parts of the city. They (we) were very much a Class-minded community. All this changed of course in 1941 when all the Jews were crowded back into the Jewish quarter (the Ghetto). My family was very thankful to our relatives from the Judengasse for letting us stay with them.
