RE: [Cz-L] My big brother and me.

 
Hi, dear Marianne,
I have read everything your father wrote. You can imagine how interesting it
was for me. Thanks for publishing his memoires and, of course, for your book
too, as you represent our generation and our community of
Bucharester-Bukovinaer-baby-boomers.

In Siret: the mythological Tante Flora, my aunt and your teacher did not
leave my pregnant mother for one minute. During my childhood she often told
me: "I spoke to you. I said, please baby (It was "das Kind"), do wait until
we will be in Bucharest, don't come out here in this terrible Siret or on
the horrible train. You're a good girl, you listened to me. That's why I
love you. You must always listen to my words".
 I always did.
More Siret: Meanwhile, my father, the Herr Doctor, was busy saving the life
of a good friend from Czernowitz, who "swallowed" some gold coins and was
obviously in critical condition. The panic was big, everyone talked about
it. This episode my brother remembers vividly. He was 5years and 9 months
old.

BTW, the border crossings in 1945 are well described in Hedwig's and Lucca's
memoires.
I think, in spring 1946 it was somehow different. A huge number of people
crossed the border in a short time. It was probably more "organized". Can
someone tell us more?
Regards,
Irene

Irene, thanks for this!
I found my aunt and uncle Bong, but not my grandparents who were on the same
crossing in March 46. My parents left with false papers in 45. My father
describes it a little bit in his memoir, on our Ghosts of Home website. I
guess you were there as a stowaway!

thanks again, m
