Re: [Cz-L] New on the website 06 Jan.2011

Dear Merle and Jerome,

I agree, even if my parents and grands parent were born in Czernovitw, they didnt tell a lot about their youth, I discovered most of the stories in my mothers memories that she wrote 15 years ago, in germain, that I tried to read and understand, only last year, my son's history teacher in high school, has done for me a traduction in french.

Have a good day, Anny Schafer Chemla
