Just a bit more about Czernowitzer Deutsch. When I eventually got to Australia in order to get something called a "Commonwealth Scholarship" which helped to pay the fees one had to do exams called "The Leaving Certificate". One of the subjects I sat was German...all learned in Czernowitz.....and I got a top" Honours" pass. And it helped to get me into Med School!! Cornel

Sorry Asher, you are mixing Alexander and Charles...
It's me, Charles, who was born in August 1941 in Czernowitz.
I got the French Citizenship in the late fifties. One day, in the seventies I asked for a new birth certificate: it took a few months and the answer came as "born in USSR", which was a big surprise for my parents and for me. Some twelve years later, with the help of a friend who was a French Consul abroad, I made a formal application to the president of the relevant "tribunal administratif" in order to get this corrected. It took again a couple of years, but since then my birth certificate correctly states that I was born in Rumania...
