Re: [Cz-L] Ruthenian

David,

You misunderstood what I wrote. When I was about a year old,
our Ruthenian maid Anetza stopped taking care of me, but she remained
our maid till I was three years old and I remember her well.

I do not remember things which happened before I was one year old,
but I remember a few things which happened when I was less than three.
How do I know how old I was at the time of a certain event?
By the house in which we lived at the time.
Till the summer of 1940, we lived in our own house on the Schmidt Gasse.
Then we lived for about 15 month on the Blumengasse. From the summer
of 1940 till October 1941. Then in the ghetto, then till the late
summer of 1942
with Jerry Wolf/ Josef Eshet's aunt on the Slowatzki Gasse. Then, for
a few weeks
in the apartment of the Romanian who took over our factory, somewhere
near the Ringplatz and then, till we left Czernowitz in 1945, on the
Schmidt Gasse,
  but not in our previous home.

Ducks and geese are imprinted by the first animal or person they see
when they hatch.
Before any of you call me a "Katshke", I will say myself, that we
Czernowitzers
were certainly imprinted by the city in which we were born.
