Re: [Cz-L] After we go.

I am the second generation.  My parents passed away and I never lived in Czernowitz.  Yet in a subtle way, my parents left me with an attachment to the place they grew up in.  I visited Czernowitz last month and found my parents' homes, schools and places of work- I wanted to see what it must have been like for them.  I shared the experience and photos with my brother and cousins and their children.  I cook Puerogen, Knoedel and MItitei for my family.  I speak Czernowitzer German.  A lot is left!

In the foreseeable future the last of the Mohicans will go.
People who have been to the Ghetto , Transnistria, Siberia , Asia minor.
What is left ?
The second generation.
  They speak English mostly .
    Some know about Czernowitz.
      Some dont.
       Today it is easy to google up the old town.
       The pictures dont impress them.
  Yes , this is the place our fathers lived and stayed alive somehow.
    Not all of them, that is.
     Not much of a place.
      We've seen nicer .        Have you seen Siena ?  Hardy
