Dear all,

On 4 Mar 2012 13:17:17 +0000, Nathan Gross <archnathan_at_hotmail.com> wrote, in part:

Without diminishing the greatness of Hedy, our good friend, I must correct:
Hedwig Brenner is not the only living Czernowitzer who lived under these regimes. My mother, Sidi (Sidonia) Gross, who is (I think) only 2 years younger than Hedy, has the same life-story, if not worse. She and her sister Berta were sitting just behind you at Hedy's medal-ceremony...

...Sidi's sister, Berta Sporn, who is 4 years older, is also still with us, living by herself in Tel-Aviv with her numerous cats. She has the same
story, and I know several others who can say they went through almost
similar "adventures"....

Dear Nathan,

Could you ask your Tante Berta what she knows about the Sporn family, which I assume she married into? My husband's family has a branch with the surname of SPORN. What little we know about them in Europe ends in Buczacz, Galicia with a reference or two to Potok Zloty. There are at least two big families of David & Isaak Sporn, brothers born in the 1830s but where we don't know.

Many thanks,
Shellie
