[Cz-L] Response about Shimshon Fersht from Fanny Cooper

This response came to me from Fanny Cooper, nee Barth, re my posting of
Shimshon Fersht's Lexicon biography: She correctly notes that Novoselitz was
in Bessarabia at the turn of the 20th century (and is now in the Ukraine),
but I wrote that it was in Bukovina. Actually what the bio says is that it
was in a Bukovina border village. Can that mean that it was in Bessarabia,
on the border of Bessarabia and Bukovina? I don't know this area
geographically, i.e. whether Bessarabia and Bukovina shared a common border
or not.

Here are Fanny's remarks:

To Steven Lasky, dear Steven,I am answering you and if you want, you can
put it on the List.

I knew Shamschel Ferst, when my Mother Z.L.and me went to Dorna.in 1938 -
we had Shamschel give a performance in a private home,and even though I was
very young I enjoyed his jokes
and songs.

 We also used to buy the" Grager" every Purim and repeat his verses and his
songs.I remember" "Die Spies in Die Nudel" Also a small correction,
Novoselitz was in Besarabia,and many of the students from there, came to
Czernowitz todo the Gymnasium.I wish I knew where to find his book or a book
of hissongs? Even with Yiddish letters but better in Latin.
Thanks for any information.

Yours Fanny Cooper born Barth.

Regards,
Steven Lasky
