Re: [Cz-L] Obit for Czernowitzer Robert Blum

Dear all, I met Robert Blum and his son Martin in Calgary a few years ago. My parents were very close friends of his brothers Richard and Otto who moved to Sasketchewan and Montreal. Robert was wonderfully welcoming and I'm happy I got to see him,

Richard studied mathematics in Prague, married Martha Gutmann,. When we met in Bucarest, Richard told us how my husband saved his life, hiding him in the Sugar factory, in 1941, when he was called to go to the soviet army...in every life are so many histories....Richard and Martha lived some years after WW2 in Bucarest and went to Canada,1951.. He became University Prof. at Suskatchewan, Martha wrote some books about the life in Czernowitz, she sent me one.."The Walnut tree", I am just looking at it,on the cover is the picture of the Residenzgasse, with the house where Martha lived in her youth, I went often there, because my friend Elfi Herschmann, the cousin of Florence lived there, also related to Martha....Richard had an other. elder brother, I forgot his name and a sister, maried to DR.Otto Seidmann, who wrote the famous humoristic book "Die Peschl" and, as I remember a twin-brother...
