Re: [Cz-L] Help Recognize / Translate

To give an example of how little Romanian we knew, consider the fact
that
25 years after Czernowitz was annexed to Romania, I still knew the
street names,
including the one I lived on, only in German.

Whenever asked where they were from, Czernowitzers would insist
that they were not from Romania.

Did any Jewish authors or poets from Czernowitz write in Romanian?
