Subject: New to list: inquiring about the Zimbler family

Greetings everyone,

Just joined the list a few weeks ago. My father's family settled in
Czernowitz over 200 years ago. My father was born there in 1931 as Arthur
Zimbler (son of Miriam Goltz) and was on the first transport
to Transnistria in 1941. He had two older sisters: Lotti and Toni. One was
18 and ther other 22 in 1941. My gradfather was murdered by a Romanian
soldier just outside the camp in 1942. The rest of my father's nuclear
family survived but left for Romania immediately after the war. My father
met my mother in Brashov Romania and in 1963 immigrated to Israel and
became Avraham Sharoni. He passed away in 2004.

I would appreciate any information about the family as well as any
memorable things those of you who are my father's generation remember from
1931-1941. I am currently working on a memoir that begins with the morning
of the first trasport from the Czernowitz ghetto to Transnistria. My father
wrote a self published memori beginning with that morning but I would like
to provide a little bit more context.

Also, we have very little information about the extended family: my
grandfather's (Zimbler) brothers and sisters and their families and we know
the whereabouts of only 3 of my grandmother's sibilings but they were 14.

Also, I would like to recommend a great resource, which has been very
useful for me: a book authored by Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer titled
Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory, published by
the University of California in 2010.

I really appreciate this list.

Warmly,
Simona
