Ilana...
I think you would like to know, that there is a wonderful article for your maternal great grandfather Adolf Gedaly, published in the 17.07.1932 edition of Czernowitz newspaper "Der Tag - The Day", released at
http://czernowitzdaily.blogspot.com/
Your great grandfather owned in 1932 the "Baia Venetia" the "Venice Bathhouse" and they organized for PR a public singing contest. These were the awards:
1. 1 complete [!!!] radio set
2. 10 Columbia records
3. 10 x 1 Columbia record
Just amazing, especially that as a winner you get a complete radio set. If you would like to learn more on that subject, please go the the Transcriptions & Archives Section
http://dertag.forenworld.com/index.php
and enter "Gedaly" in the search field at the top of the page. You'll find there the transcription of this article. I'll send the excerpt by separate mail to you.
BTW, the above search procedure is easy-to-use for everyone, who is looking for Czernowitz related names, mentioned in "Der Tag - The Day" in 1932/1933. In case, you don't read German, you may copy and paste the respective transcription to an online translator.
Best wishes from the Netherlands!
