Dear Mr. Rogovin,
I am glad that you remembered my post from 2007 about Steingasse 20 where
I lived in CZ as a child. I have a very good memory and I remember the
bombs falling from the planes as if it was yesterday, while asking my
mother if the planes lay eggs (I was a little girl then!). I am sure that
you remember also that in our correspondence in 2007 I gave you a detailed
description of the house , entrance and courtyard of Steingasse 20, which
fitted exactly the photos that you then sent me from the house in its state
nowadays which someone took at CZ.
Me and my family are fine. Being abroad for two weeks I saw your post only
now, therefore the delay in answering.
Best regards from Israel!
Gerti Nahum
