I am Hardy Breier from Czernowitz.
I am Jewish and speak Yiddish.
That means I am from the Ashkenazy tribe.
I can trace my genealogy one generation back.
Maternally to Boyan ,paternally to Mihalcea.
Both at a stone's throw from Czernowitz .
Our Yiddish did not show any foreign blend to point to our origin.
Where did we come from ? When ? Why ?
By language we came from Germany in the 11 th century.
But our speech is full of polish , rumanian and ruthenian expressions
which shows that our an ancestors were avid backpackers.
Are we from the early settlers who came with salt carriages from
Lemberg on their way to Yassi ?
At home we spoke German which was considered superior.
We spoke it as bad as we could considering the fact that we,
the rumanian generation , studied rumanian at school.
We did not like rumanian and therefore massacred it without mercy.
But it seeped in.
Hardy
