Czernowitzers...
Coming to Vienna, my motorcycle ride to Bukovina and far, far beyond takes me to a Bukovina related exhibition: Blurred Borders - Jewish Identities in Central Europe after the year 1918. One of the exhibition walls is dedicated to Romania and Bukovina. We discover two photos, a short biography of my grandfather Elias Hauster as well as an excerpt out of one of his letters from September 1947, addressed to my father, Julius Hauster:

Dr. Gaëlle Fisher starts her article "Between Liberation and Emigration: Jews from Bukovina in Romania after the Second World War", published in the Leo Baeck Institute Year Book 2017, as follows: "The more than one hundred letters written by Elias Hauster (born 1878) to his son Julius (born 1912) between 1946 and 1949 give a privileged insight into the circumstances of Bukovina Jews in the immediate aftermath of the war. [...] The preserved correspondence [available online at:
http://radautz.blogspot.com/], Elias’s letters to his son, reveal a great deal about everyday life and circumstances as well as Elias’s visions of the future and the lessons drawn from the recent past. In 1946 when the correspondence started, Elias and his wife were in a desperate situation. They lived in a small, cold basement flat without a bathroom, and they were in need of everything: clothes, food, and medication."
No doubt about, Elias would have been proud to appear on the same exhibition board together with Prive Friedjung and Paul Celan!
