Hello All !

Some of you might recall me from about a year ago when I began writing a novel based on the memoirs of my father, a Czernowitz survivor.

Over the past year I have received wonderful help from several of you, in Australia and abroad - thank you all! - as well as from Professor Kwiet at the Sydney Jewish Museum. The manuscript is now complete and will be in stores next April. The publisher is Hachette.

Before it goes to print I want to ensure that all the details in it are accurate. To that end I will be visiting the city in September - my first visit, finally! - and am wondering if there is anyone there who could act as a guide and/or give me some general advice.

I am of course keen to locate the house where my father lived - I have its address - but I also want to properly locate various other places that feature in my story.

These include the weaving mill where my father worked, the ghetto, the train stations, and also whichever area/s were where the more affluent gentiles resided.

All of these, and more, feature in my novel.

Warmest regards
Rick Held
