Re: [Cz-L] czernowitz-l digest: April 11, 2012

I, not only remember the tramway, but, in the winter, with snow on the ground, tracked on the steps I slid and fell under the moving "tramway".
my dad, loom v"sholom, had panic on his face. Fortunately, the wheel pushed me away, sideways from it,
I got up ( 13 years old, after returning from Transnistria ) and pretended nothing happened
I am fine.
