RE: [Cz-L] June 1941 Deportations to Siberia - Two Perspectives

The last sentence in Julius Wolfenhaut's memoirs written around 2003 at the
age of 90 in Germany is:

" Meine Heimatstadt Czernowitz habe ich nie wieder gesehen"

" Never again have I seen my hometown Czernowitz "

Not like Sidi Kassner, who had the luck to return in 1965 to Czernowitz:

" I had finally returned to my beloved homeland but as I looked around I
realized that the Cernowitz I knew was gone."

Subject: [Cz-L] June 1941 Deportations to Siberia - Two Perspectives

Czernowitzers...

Hungry for books, after the dawn of "Der Tag" a few days ago, I just
completed the reading - in parallel - of two memoirs, dedicated to the June
1941 deportations from Czernowitz to Siberia, followed by decades of
banishment, starvation, diseases, cases of death, humiliations, etc.:

"Nach Sibirien verbannt" by Julius Wolfenhaut "Sibirische Erinnerungen" by
Sidi Kassner

Both books are in German language and you are kindly invited to read my
short book review:

http://hauster.blogspot.de/2013/07/nach-sibirien-verbannt-sibirische.html

In addition, Sidi Kassner's memoirs are available in English - FREE AND
ONLINE - at our ehpes.com Blog:

iberia/

Of course I knew about these deportations to Siberia before, but only now
I'm able to roughly comprehend the living conditions of the deportees,
"living" being an extenuation of their real situation! Reading Julius
Wolfenhaut's memoirs, you'll discover, as footnotes, several short profiles
of Czernowitzers:

Thank you once again, dear Sidi, for your outstanding contribution and thank
you, Harry, for your story on Dr.-Ing. Albin Eisenstein!
