[Cz-L] The Oldtimer and the City

We are a pain in the back to new Czernowitz.
  We bring back a period they would gladly forget.
     And so they do.
    They did not show brotherly support (understatement).
     They live in our houses , synagogues , Temple.
      The young do not know who we are.
     ( And so do we , at times.)
       And when we remember we feel empty.
      So go there ,see the streets , the houses.
        Eat their food , enjoy the sights, remember.
          Look around - you don't belong .
           You are a long- forgotten far- away relative who suddenly appears
            for an unannounced visit.
        They put up a smile but don't know what to do with you.
         " Sorry no German , a little English , please here is menu , OK ?"
