Czernowitzers...

I'd like to share with you six more outstanding photos, brought to you by
courtesy of Prof. Yvonne Hirdman, the renowned Swedish historian at
Stockholm University and author of the book "Meine Mutter, die Gräfin - Ein
Jahrhundertleben zwischen Kommunismus und Bohème" [My Mother, the Countess -
A Centenary Life Between Communism and Bohemianism].

The first four photos are showing the "homemade" October Revolution in
Czernowitz. It could be spring or November 1917. Yvonne's guess is spring
1917, do you know better? You are discovering the Magen David while looking
for the revolutionary red star? It's Czernowitz, not Moscow or St.
Petersburg!

Just a few miles/kilometres away, we find the Austro-Hungarian troops at
Marmonita, posing for a group photo, among them Yvonne's grandfather.

Finally, I've updated the posting "The Oldest Bookstore in Radautz"

http://ehpes.com/blog1/2012/11/15/the-oldest-bookstore-in-radautz/

by adding a wonderful, poetic, pictorial photo of Yvonne's grandmother
Emilie Schledt. Thank you so much, Yvonne!
