Czernowitzers...
As a wonderful supplement to my posting "Leo Schwefel from Bucharest Became Radu Comsa in Bucharest"
http://hauster.blogspot.de/2015/07/leo-schwefel-from-czernowitz-became.html
it sounds fabulous to me that - after all that years - we apparently succeeded to facilitate a "family reunification".
Zvi Shefy from Israel wrote to me: "I'm very excited because you probably found a lost relative of my father. My father Shimshon (Simon) Schwefel was born in 1928 in Czernowitz. His father's name is Leopold Schwefel born 1898 in Boyan, his mother's name is Lotti (Lea) Schiller (her father's name). Leopold Schwefel my grandfather served in the Austrian army during WW1. My father remembers that as a child, before WW2 he accompanied his father to visit the father's aunt named Ita. She lived at her daughters house. Her daughters name was Zili Nachbar wife of well known painter in Chernovits. Zili's brother was Dr. Schwefel – the father of Leo Schwefel. So – to sum it up – My father and Leo Schwefel are actually sons of cousins. My father's family went through a lot of trouble during WW2. They were 3 little brothers the family was deported to Transnistria, and Leopold Schwefel my grandfather died in labor camp in Nikolaive in 1943. After the liberation of Transnistria My grandmother with the 3 sons went back to Czernowitz, then moved in 1946 to Romania, and in 1947 board the ship "Pan Crescent " to Israel, where the whole family lives now. Here is a picture of my father – Shinshon - you can see the similarity...
