Re: [Cz-L] Rural Czernowitz.

My grandmother, Edith Wiegler, was also born in Klokuczka in 1920 and
so were her 3 siblings. Her parents who first moved there around 1902
lived at house no. 689. At some point there was a fire and the house
burnt down. After the fire they built another house, this time it was
no. 12. They had a garden with chicken and even a cow the children
named Mina after their aunt Mina Luttinger as a joke. Her father, Leon
Wiegler, owned a grocery store in Klokuczka.
When we were there last year we tried finding their house but now all
the streets have names and the house numbers are different. We
couldn't find anyone who knew the old order of houses nor could we
find a map that would show it. A few people tried to help us and took
us to meet some old women who lived in Klokuczka since their childhood
but they also didn't know the family. One of them, a writer, Elena
Demianu, gave us a short book in Romanian she wrote about the history
of Klokuczka.

Noam.

> but I must tell you that in 1860 my grandfather motherside, Moritz Feuerstein was born in Klokuczka, a suburb of Czernowitz..also his 4 siblings...and my grandmother told me that very many jewish families lived there...the streets had no names, only every house had a number..their house was no.629...and they stayed there until they went to Bombay for 3 years, After their return, they bought a small house in Czernowitz, in the Blumengasse 35.My mother told me, when she was a child, there were the happiest days, when they went with her brothers to the grandies. The big garden with frueittrees, the swing on a tree, the rastberry-bushes and the meals in the garden under the limetree, with all cousins, aunts, uncles....under the austrian rule..before WW l....the life was beautyful...yet... for Jews....
