To my astonishment, I can still read and understand some of
Alfred Kittner's writings, but only some of it. I would appreciate it,
if one of the other Czernowitzers, who's Romanian is better than mine
would translate the whole document and if necessary correct
the few lines I translated.
My translation of a few lines, starting from where Edgar left off:
------------------------
My father, Heinrich Kittner (who died in 1932) was an accountant,
my mother, Cecilia Kittner, maiden name Kapralik, died in 1910,
when I was barely three years old.
I completed elementary- and high-school in Vienna,
where my father stayed during WW1 and in Cernauti.
After finishing high school in the year 1925, I attended for one year
the faculty of Sciences at the university of Cernauti.
I did my military service as an infantry soldier in Satu Mare
(1928-1929)
and next, I studied (1929 - 1932) courses in German studies and
literature
at the university of Breslau, where I also started my literary carrier.
In 1932 I returned to Cernauti and worked for one year in the
accounting section
of the Bank of Marmorosch.
(my remark: I find it interesting that Kittner uses the word
"Marmorosch",
which is a German word, rather than the Romanian word which is
"Maramures")
But in the year 1933, I started work as an editor at the daily paper
"Der Tag"
in Cernauti, at which paper I worked as the editorial secretary, the
literary editor....."
