Yes I am a silent CZ lurker and so enjoy all your postings. My connection with Cz is a little more distant than many. My grandmother Bertha Flinker's family was from Cz and my father (only child) was born here in 1910, but left at 10 days old to live in Vienna where Bertha and her spouse Abraham Bieder now lived. My father remained in Vienna until WW2 but never returned to Cz and regretted this and talked endlessly about the special place it was. Bruce Reisch kindly sent me images of the Flinker family burial plots in the Cz cemetery and I am very keen to visit -hopefully this summer. I have also since discovered several Cz siblings of Bertha's disappeared during WW2 and I would like to discover their fate and pay homage to them. I do feel very connected to Cz and this newsgroup even from so far away and often wonder if I am the only Kiwi (New Zealander) in this group. Amazingly Bertha and her husband Abraham managed to get to NZ in 1947, I remember her playing the piano and singing wonderful Bukowinian songs to us as children in the back blocks of NZ and buying us forbidden candy. She spoke poor English, German and Ruthenian. Imagine how weird this place must have been for her but she survived here till she was 86.
I so appreciate being a member of this wonderful group.
