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

Hi, all,=20
My mother's parents lived in Novoselitz. It was a "shtetl" on the border
between Russia (Bessarabia) and Austria (Bukovina), some 28-30 km. from =
Cz..
The majority of the population was Jewish. I was told that people used =
to
move freely between "Russisch Novoselitz" and "=D6sterreich Novoselitz".
Nowadays it is part of Ukraine.

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

This response came to me from Fanny Cooper, nee Barth, re my posting of=20
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),=20
but I wrote that it was in Bukovina. Actually what the bio says is that =
it=20
was in a Bukovina border village. Can that mean that it was in =
Bessarabia,=20
on the border of Bessarabia and Bukovina? I don't know this area=20
geographically, i.e. whether Bessarabia and Bukovina shared a common =
border=20
or not.

Here are Fanny's remarks:

To Steven Lasky, dear Steven,I am answering you and if you want, you =
can=20
put it on the List.

I knew Shamschel Ferst, when my Mother Z.L.and me went to Dorna.in 1938 =
-=20
we had Shamschel give a performance in a private home,and even though I =
was=20
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,=20
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.
