Dear all,
I recently joined the group and after reading your messages many memories
come back.
I was born in Bershad in April 1943. I was lucky to survive, since this was
a difficult breech delivery. The physician that assisted my mother was
Dr.Menczel, certainly very skilled.
This has certainly influenced my decision to study medicine and latter
become an obstetrician.
My mother *Roza Ghitzis* was born in Hotin, My grand parents Sonia and
Israel (Srul) lived in a house on "Mircea cel Mare" Street in Hotin. My
grand father was a pharmacist, owned the pharmacy in Hotin, he was also the
mayor of Hotin.
My mother Roza Ghitzis studied piano and graduated from the Music Academy
in Czernowitz, Before the war she gave a couple concerts and recitals in
Czernowitz.
After the war she returned to the Academy and taught piano.I know her boss
was someone by the name of Podorenko, and one of her colleagues was Mitzi
Loker
We lived on *Reginal Ferdinand #46* ,at the corner of* Cojbuc* #1
(Osipenko) I wonder if any of you knew her and attended her
concerts/recitals, or were her students.
My father name was* Herman (Hans) Mittelmark, *born in Storojinetz,
educated and lived in Wien (Stiegengasse #4) and then Czernowitz were he
met my mother.
They were both deported to Bershad, had horrible experiences: hunger,
typhus,beatings, dragged behind a motorcycle by the camp commander, escaped
twice executions (hiding behind tomb stones in the Bershad cemetery)
After the war, my father (he had expertise in bridge construction, his
family owned a cement and construction business in Storojinetz) was
recruited by the Red Army to assist rebuilding bridges destroyed by the
germans. Got shot in one leg, by the notorious Bandera gang (Yes ,the same
Bandera that is being now glorified...), spend months in a hospital in
Czernowitz.(no antibiotics at that time.
>From Czernowitz we moved to Bacau-Rumania, then to New York and a year
latter to Israel .
My parents passed away in Israel. I moved back to U.S. in 1973, and now
retired in California.
We all live with many memories, if any of you knew my parents and have any
details about encounters in Czernowitz or elsewhere would love to learn.
Hope to meet you all somewhere...would very much like an organized group
tour to Czernowitz and Transnistria
Warm regards,
Raul Artal-Mittelmark
