Re: [Cz-L] A Romanian investigation

Dear Hardy,

Thank you for your acceptance.

Having been a list member since the very beginning, I must say
that this has been a most precious education for me. When he
and others began their wonderful work on the Ehpes site and
the Czernowitz list, my dear friend and cousin, Bruce Reisch,
invited me to join, which I did immediately.

My grandfather, David Kastner (nor the rest of his family) never spoke about
life in Bukovina. He left Radautz at the age of 15 in 1900 to
join two of his brothers who were already in Montreal.
With few exceptions, the rest of his huge family followed - some before
WWII, some others afterwards, a few went to live in Israel, some
were deported to Transnistria, some perished there.

It wasn't until several years ago that a dear cousin who lives nearby,
a Transnistria survivor, Netty Kastner Moses, told me her story and
her husband, Eisig/Aziu Moses, told me his.
Actually, you can see his account on the JewishGen Yizkor
Book site at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Chudyn/chu001.html

Wanting to learn more, I then collected and read a number of books -
by Dr. Felicia Carmelly, Ruth Glasberg Gold, Rita Stenzler Rogers, among
others.

So, unlike so many list members, I have had no personal experience
in Czernowitz nor any part of Bukovina, but I feel very much a part
of it just the same. For this, I thank the list members. And this
coming summer, I will be fulfilling my dream of being there.

Merle
