Dear Miriam,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the "AVODAT KODESH" that you all
are doing.
If you pass by chance near a grave with the name HERMAN (HERSH) SCHAFER or
MALKA (MALI) SACHAFER, my father's
Grandparents, please take a picture of their MAZEVA.
Only some time ago, I found out that my Grandfather Karl Schafer was born in
Czernowitz as well as his parents.
Thanks in advance,
Nurit Naeh
Haifa, Israel

Taxi drivers in Czernowitz are likely to speak English, German, Italian,
French and of course Ukrainian and Russian, but today I found one who spoke
Romanian.
The first problem was that I had to speak Romanian to him, The second was
that he spoke "Moldoveneste" and I had A hard time understanding him.
This morning I worked with the volunteers from SVIT Ukraine at the cemetery.
We are now clearing areas 121 and 124, the volunteers from SVIT are clearing
areas 122 and 122. The work is hard but we are of good cheer and proud of
every small accomplishment.

We cleared all around the grave of Cornel's father and I found the grave of
the grandmother of Josef Eshet, whom I knew in my early childhood.
I also passed near the grave of someone named Gutherz, shall I look for it
And take a Photograph?

After lunch I went for a walk on the Herrengasse. At the corner behind which
Is the Cathedral Band of five musicians played "Alte Sclager" and I stopped
to listen.
After a while an elderly woman stopped to talk to them. A few minutes later
She was singing many Ukrainian songs, I knew in my childhood and they were
accompanying her. She also sang "Marinka" and then "Hava Nagila"
And another Yiddish song.

When she left, I asked one of the musicians: znayetz "sertzeh sertzeh"
And the played this hit tune fro[m] 1935! What "a mechayeh"!
Then I asked them to play "Bun ie vinul Giurgiului", which the did, As well
as another Romanian song with a very catchy tune.

ONLY IN CZERNOWITZ!

Seit alle gesund,

Mimi
