Re: [Cz-L] Does any one ( out of the 399 ) met or knew a Reder?

Dear Moshe,

You have as much to contribute as anyone else on the list and
it's really good to hear from you - welcome.

I am not a real Czernowitzer (although one of my Kastner grandfather's
many nephews did live in Czernowitz and brought his family up there).
My Kastners came from (mainly) Radautz and my Ostfelds, from
all over Bukovina.

Your story, which you just told us, is an important one.
So, please do not remain a member of the 'silent majority' any more.

Merle
