[Cz-L] Czernowitz - Jewish City of German Language

Czernowitzers...

Today it's my privilege to release Friedrich J. Ortwein's book "Czernowitz - Jüdische Stadt deutscher Sprache" [Czernowitz - Jewish City of German Language] at our ehpes.com Blog

http://ehpes.com/blog1/2014/03/28/czernowitz-jewish-city-of-german-language/

and in parallel at my personal Edgar Hauster Blog:

Friedrich J. Ortwein from Cologne is an almost silent member of our group, but with his accurately illustrated book he succeeded - on just 34 pages - to realize a declaration of love to Czernowitz, a collective tribute to EHPES and a travel book with many, many useful links.

Friedrich wrote: "Up until now, I was profoundly convinced, that the love and the devotion of the citizens of Cologne to their home town, the antique CCAA (Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium), one of the Daughters of Rome and free imperial city, cannot be exceeded by anybody in the world. But during the travel preparations for our journey to Galicia and Bukovina, when I came across the website of the Jews expelled from CZERNOWITZ, I had to reverse: The children and grandchildren of Czernowitzers, together with a few Holocaust survivors, have created a website containing a huge data volume and so they emphasize in an unique and inimitable way their love for the home country of their ancestors. Forum members from all over the world, from the Americas, from Australia and South Africa, from Israel and Europe analyze, comment and swap ideas on events, research their genealogical roots, discuss and value rediscovered archival materials, enjoy old and new photos, exchange holiday and birthday wishes and all this happens in English with embedded German, Yiddish and Hebrew particles."

Friedrich's thanks go to all our members of the Czernowitz-L Discussion Group, but particularly to Hardy Breier, Hedwig Brenner, Cornel Fleming, Ruth Gold, Christian Herrmann, Marion Tauschwitz, Miriam Taylor.
