Thank you very much for the help!
Indeed, Paul Celan was a poet and author after that (he worked briefly in
the asylum of dr. Pinkas Mayer in 1944). As far as I know, he started to
publish poetry during his stay in Bucharest after World War II, even if
wrote poetry for himself during the war years. I hope I am not mistaken.
I have heard of professor Hardy Mayer and his wonderful career. Thanks to
his article (http://www.ibiblio.org/yiddish/Tshernovits/mayer.html), I have
found information about his father and the atmosphere in their home.
Freud's books were translated into Romanian in the 80s. Most of the
Romanians used to read psychoanalysis in French and only a few of them in
German.
Moritz Stekel was indeed the brother of Wilhelm Stekel. Stekel's articles
in Bukowiner Post are a treasure for me. Other psychoanalysts that were
born or spent many years in Czernowiz are Wilhelm Reich, Edward Bibring,
Adolf Deutsch or Heinrich Winnik, but all of them left to Vienna. Only
Heinrich Winnik was active in Bucharest and later on in Israel.
Helios Hecht may be a very interesting figure and I will try to find some
information about him.
I am very, very thankful for the help.
