Dear all,
I would like to ask for your help in connection with materials I try
to find out about a memoir which I first read in 2011 and which adds to
the massive corpus published in the last couple of years. The volume I
refer to is "Terracotta Ovens of My Childhood: The Story of a Little Girl
from a Small Town Called Cernowitz (A Memoir)" by Elite Olshtain.
Elite was born in 1938, her parents were Frieda and Willy Zeller and
they lived on Franzensgasse, in a Bau Haus building raised in 1935. I
have intensely studied all the maps I could find (on ehpes.com or other
sources) and I keep on hoping that I can locate Franzensgasse. From recent
sources, I understand that it came close to the Temple, but at which end I
do not realize...
Does anybody from the group remember where Franzensgasse was located? Does
anybody remember the Zellers? or the Furmans, Elite's maternal grandparents?
I have recently completed reading Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer's
"Ghosts of Home", and it certainly helped me have a closer, personal and
reflexive look at THAT past. I am Romanian, but the content such
testimonies left on my mind, as well as the tone of each narrator, cannot
be ignored. Probably because the war left equally painful marks in my
family too...
I thank you in advance and hope to understand better the life in
Czernowitz and the memories of the recent past.
