Re: [Cz-L] Do you like Philharmonia Square ?

I can understand the feelings of Hardy and the others who were in Czernowitz
in the bad years of 1940-45. However, I left Czernowitz in April 1940 at the
age of 16 and I have a great nostalgia to the city I was born and passed my
childhood and beyond. I visited the town in 1990, and in 2009 with my two
daughters and a grandson and would enjoy visiting it again. The
Musikvereinsgasse reminds me the Pharmacy at the corner Karolinengasse with
the old style interior and the pharmacist, a tall man with and impressive
red beard. I was so disappointed not to find there the interior as I
remembered it. There is a model of a traditional pharmacy in the
Herrengasse, but it is a poor comparison to the original one there. Further
a big Kiosk was attached to the Musikverein building near the corner with
the Musikvereinsgasse owned by two Jewish brothers, where we bought exotic
fruits like oranges , etc
and a fish store in a cellar in the Pfarrgasse where we bought live Carps
for Shabbath, and I am not going further to remeber the many stores in the
Mehlplatz , among therm the Jewish holy bookstore of Schapira, whose family
came to Israel and Mr. Schapira was the Head of the Finance Committee of
the Knesset as a member of the Agudah Party, etc, etc,
