RE: [Cz-L] Visit

Hi Ilana! In one of my books there is another Kaiser Franz Joseph story.
Sometime in the late 1800's somebody tried to whip up anti-Jewish feelings
in a part of the Empire,and the word came to Franz Joseph...who promptly
called a meeting of his Ministers and made a speech,in which he said that
the Jews were one of the peoples in his multinational Empire and "nobody
picks one one of my subject people,or they will answer to me! " And that was
the instant end of that!! Cornel

Hi Hedwig,

Thanks so much for your reply. Unfortunately I don't understand German. My
mother and father do speak German and perhaps I could have them translate
but since I have so much to say about my visit to Czernowitz I must be
somewhat brief about introductions. I loved this story as an example of why
Czernowitz and Czernowitzers are different. Historically it was one of the
few places that Jews were treated as equals, even if for a brief period of
time and I think my American congregation will find that interesting.

Any translation you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks so much,
Ilana
