Dear Robert, dear Edgar,
Here is the comment I have posted on the Ehpes Blog.
Max Kula and his wife Regina ( Lehr ) appear on the list of the Viitorul
survivors.
It is sad to hear that Max died in Cyprus shortly after he was rescued.
Here is the link to the article I translated years ago.

Thanks Robert,
Irene

Subject: [Cz-L] Robert Burton's Comment on "The Jewish Hospital in
Czernowitz"
Czernowitzers...
Generally, before I'm going to publish a new posting at our Ehpes Blog, I'm
checking the blog for spam. This morning I had to check 363 comments and to
trash out of them as many as 362. But one comment from Robert Burton from
Canada was anything but spam and I'm happy that I didn't trash it
accidentally. It is a wonderful contribution to our posting on "The Jewish
Hospital in Czernowitz"
http://ehpes.com/blog1/?p=2643
which I'd like to share with all of you:
"Noa Lehr was my great grandfather. He owned the soap works and tannery. I
understand he donated/paid for the building of the Jewish Hospital. His
daughter, Rachel - Regina - married Max Kula who owned a very large estate -
cattle ranch. His cattle were the raw materials for the soapworks and
tannery. Noa died in 1937. Max died in Cyprus in 1943 - he had gone into the
water when the Vitoriul broke up in Constantinople harbour, and eventually.
He and Regina finally got visas to go to Cyprus, where life was hard. After
her passed away, Regina was able to reach Palestine - 1944. In 1951 she left
and joined her daughter - my mother - in Toronto Canada. She was joined by
her other daughter Fina and her family very shortly after. Earlie her son
Edward, who had gone to France and become a doctor, came to Toronto with his
wife Jeanne - Lilly- and he qualified to practice medicine in Toronto. Lilly
was French, and had carried the seal of the Free French Government in Exile
in Occupied France.
Regina died following a stroke in 1964. Edward died in 1973, Susan in 1996
and Fina some years later (her husband, Licu, had died a few years after
they had come to Canada. After Edward died, Lilly returned to France and
died about 10 or 15 years ago.
We trace our lines back many generations. It is amazing how the Jews of
Bukovina have succeeded and prospered in every corner of the world. The
world has changed mightily, but the memories and examples from the past,
like Noa Lehr, still guide and teach us. O, what a wondrous world !!"
The donation of 100,000 Lei mentioned by "Der Tag", September 28, 1933
edition, p. 3,
https://www.amazon.de/clouddrive/share/uauVBUzrw8IrBwtSevhMHXrIIsgcdiCen9TCR
MUKRzS?ref_=cd_ph_share_link_copy
was considerable, keeping in mind that the price of a newspaper such as "Der
Tag" was f. i. 2 Lei in 1933. Thank you very much for your comment, dear
Roger!
