Subject: Origins
It is interesting to hear the varying opinions on this subject. Despite the conflicting feelings I read here, I am thankful my father was considered Rumanian at one time. He was born in Cz in 1911, but moved to Vienna in 1914. In 1938, following the Anschluss, he managed to get into Luxembourg. He had applied to many countries worldwide seeking asylum with no luck. Finally, the U.S. granted him an Immigrant ID Card under the Rumanian quota; it listed his Country of Birth as Rumania & his Nationality as: without. Throughout his life he considered himself to be of Austrian roots, not Rumanian, as that was where he spent the majority of his formative years--- grew up, went to school, graduated from university. He was always proud to say he was born in Cz. What is MOST important to me, now, is that at a critical point in time he was considered to be Rumanian, and that likely saved his life. When all was said and done, he was proud to be an American...
To Christian and now Edgar, with their travel postings, and those of you who lived in Cz sharing your life's experiences, I thank you. Keeping history alive and informing the newer generations who were not there, is SO important.
