RE: [Cz-L] Unveiling Ceremony for Eliezer Steinbarg's Funerary Monument

Czernowitzers...

Thanks to Mimi's most interesting question and Irene's excellent contributions (translation and picture, thank you so much Irene!), my post on Eliezer Steinbarg's Funerary Monument at our Ehpes.com Blog

http://ehpes.com/blog1/2011/10/02/unveiling-ceremony-for-eliezer-steinbargs-funerary-monument/

becomes more meaningful and more interesting. Read now the English translation of the inscription on the funerary monument and have a look at the memorial plate honoring Moshe Altmann.

Bruce seems to remember there was a sculpture on top of the column on the right side of the Steinbarg monument. For mee too, it seems something is missing there, but I don't know. Is anybody of you, who remembers and/or has an older picture?

> That's an very interesting question, that you are raising. I don't know about Fried Weininger, Jone Gruber or Jankew Friedmann, but let's see, what we are learning so far from the German Wikipedia article on Moshe Altmann:

> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosche_Altman

> He was born - as Eliezer Steinbarg - in Lipkany, in the year 1890 and deceased - as Eliezer Steinbarg - in Czernowitz, in the year 1981. In the 1930s he edited in Bucharest the Yiddish journal "di woch". Then he fled from Antonescu & Co. to Chisinau, later to Moscow. In 1944 he became dramatic advisor of the Goldblat Theater in Czernowitz. In 1949 Stalin & Co. sentenced him to 10 years of Gulag in Siberia. Under Khrushchev & Co., Moshe Altmann came back to Czernowitz in the year 1955, but was a broken man.

> He deceased in the year 1981, but the Soviet regime ignored his desire to be buried close to his friend Eliezer Steinbarg at the Jewish Cemetery. He finally was buried at the Christian Cemetery (!!!) on the opposite side of the street; next time in Czernowitz I'll look for his headstone!
