Re: [Cz-L] language

It was important for the Chernowitzers to emphasize their proficiency
in German because they saw themselves as German speaking Bukoviners
not as Romanians or Ukrainians or Polish.For years in Romania and
later in Israel when the Members of the Hebronia met at our house they
only talked in German (they were all fluent in Romanian Hebrew etc)
They read German books and we had " Die Stimme '' until my Father
passed away.
