Re: [Cz-L] Jean's Introduction

Jean (and Cornel)...

Checking the Czernowitz newspaper "Der Tag" and its archives/transcriptions, online available at

http://dertag.forenworld.com/index.php

for the names mentioned in your introduction, I've identified two perhaps interesting matches for "Flem(m)inger":

27.01.1933: We discover "Flemminger" as a player of the Makkabi ice hockey team, who is representing Romania for the Makkabiah in Zakopane in 1933.

29.04.1934: The short story on page 2 reports on the rise and fall of the Hotel Central (http://ehpes.com/blog1/2012/04/28/hotel-central-in-czernowitz/). Here we "meet" Dir. Fleminger in his function as vicepresident of the Jewish Community and representative of the "Depositenbank", making an offer for the leasing of the Hotel Central before WW1.

Hope, these two Flem(m)inger related hints will be helpful to (both of) you. Warmest wishes and have an amazing weekend!

My mother was born in Czernowitz in 1913. Her family left Czernowitz when she was three years old and she grew up in Dresden. My father's family (Lewin and Fleminger) had, I am told, been prominent in Sadagora and included a Kalman Fleminger who was mayor for a while.

> My parents were Helmut and Edith Prager (born Oling). My mother's parents were Robert and Cilli Oling (born Cecilia Sonnenschein). Robert was born in Zablatow in 1881 and moved to Czernowitz. Cilli was born in 1874 in Podmokly am Graben (Podmokly nad Labem in Czech and formerly Bodenbach on the Elbe River). The Sonnenschein family also moved to Czernowitz and Cilli's younger siblings were born there. My father's parents were Carl and Clara Prager (born Lewin). Clara was born in Sadagora in 1866. Her family was there for some generations prior to her birth. Carl was born in Skawina in 1870.

> My parents immigrated to America in 1939/1940, having both been allowed as Jewish students to complete medical school in Berlin. They settled in Baltimore where my older brother and I were born in 1944 and 1946 and where we grew up. After college, I left home to live, work and study in Boston. I met my British husband there, moved to London in 1972 and we have been here ever since. Barry retired in 2003 from his position as Senior Tutor in Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College. His skill and unshakable patience (almost!) has supported the work we do together on Mac Family Tree to record our family history. I retired in May 2011 from my work as a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. I enjoy having the time to read and to do family research.

> From recording what I know about family history, I am now searching to fill in the gaps. I have been in touch with some Flemingers through the Czernowitz.ehpes website but welcome further Fleminger information from anyone who is out there.

> I recently discovered the Memorial Book to the Jews of Dresden - Deported, Murdered, Disappeared (published in 2006). In it is a photograph I had never seen of the Oling-Sonnenschein Family, including my mother at age 25 and her parents. I am trying to locate any family members who may have the originals or early copies of the photograph.
>
> My grandfather Robert Oling had a sister Dora/Dvora (born perhaps around 1880) who married a Kornblum, had at least 4 sons and immigrated to Israel. Both she and one of her children, Barukh Kornblum, have written Yad Vashem Pages of Testimony for Robert and for Cilli Oling. These pages can be viewed on the Yad Vashem website. The pages give addresses in Israel but I cannot read them. If any Israeli members of the Czernowitz website know a Kornblum with possible roots in Czernowitz, please ask them to contact me by e-mail. They would be able to help me fill in their branch of the tree. And they may have family photographs.
>
> Through JewishGen, I found a burial record of Berta Oling who died in 1926 and is buried in Czernowitz. She could be Robert Oling's mother and my great-grandmother but I have hardly any information about her. Did anyone know her or any children she may have had?
>
> My grandmother Cilli Oling had a sister Yette (born Sonnenschein) who married Karl Rieber. I understand Karl worked with the post office in Czernowitz between the World Wars. I believe the family spent time in camps during World War II and later immigrated to Petach Tikvah, together with their son, Poldi (Leopold). Poldi had a son Jochnaan/Jonathan Rieber with whom I would like to make contact, again to fill in their branch of the tree. So, if you know him or his wife, Jutta, please pass on my e-mail address and a request for contact. Jonathan might be in his forties or fifties and he and Jutta have twin daughters.
>
> Finally, I have some photos from the Sadagora family album from the late 1800s and early 1900s which I cannot identify. I hope to get them on-line soon. So let me know if you recognise any pictures from your own family albums!
