Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to apologize that you had no news of me for some time. I want to give you a short update and I will come back to everyone with a personal e-mail who was so kind to write me during the last weeks and I apologize to everyone who has not gotten any news so far. Thank you for all your support. Thanks to all of you my student project has made a step further. Unfortunately, my stay in Czernowitz was much too short to visit everything I wanted and also to speak to everyone which I wanted to meet. This not even one week passed by so quickly. Good news: The project is going so well that I will spend all 2018 with it and traveling back to Czernowitzto develop it further and stay a much longer time consecutively. This first visit in autumn was just the fundament for everything. I also plan to travel to Israel again and continue my research there. Also, to meet some of the members here who were so kind to write me.
My script about Selma and her friends grows more and more. What is still lacking the most for me at the moment is that I do not know yet how I need to imagine myself her friends. How where they like? I am talking mainly about Selma’s friends Renee Abramowicz, Else Schächter, Berta Scherzer.
I think while being in Czernowitz, I got a good understanding of Selma’s temper and character (as good as it can be if you were born in the 1990s and were not with her at the time). But I do not know yet what character her friends had - how they were like - what it was like to be with them. As I try to develop their characters for my script for my studies this is pretty difficult. As well, I was pretty sad to see that Leiser’s house in Dr Fechnergasse has vanished. Today there is a new house standing there and I could not find anybody in Czernowitz so far who possesses old pictures of this street to see how it looked like. I rang at the door of the owners of the „new“ house but they did not make a photograph of the old building in Dr Fechnergasse Nr. 14 before they demolished it. If somebody has one by accident, please, let me know.
Thank you so much to everyone. Once, the script is done and there is something to show (= film), you will all be the first to know.
And: If somebody from the list is living, visiting, coming to Munich, Stuttgart or surrounding - please, let me know. Would be my pleasure to meet.
With the very best wishes from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Sarah
