Second Set of Photographs and Commentary from Lucca Ginsburg
(continued - p.3 of 3)

Picture No.8:  At the Czernowitz cemetery, my maternal grandmother's grave, which I could not find while
visiting my hometown about 10 years ago. My mother, her two sisters, my uncle visiting from Trinidad
and myself about six years old.

Picture No.9:  This was taken during the second communist invasion and shows only a few students of our class. In the middle are three teachers, Mr.
Stanger, a known sportsman in Czernowitz who taught us - I say it in Russian "Voenna Potgatovka" which means "be prepared for war".  Next to him a well-beloved teacher and Jiddishist, Mr. Ginninger who was also a writer in Jiddish. I wrote essays for him in Jiddish and he said I'll become a novelist someday. Oh well. I don't remember what the lady in boots sitting next to him taught us. I am sitting right next to Vally Schummer on the ground.

Picture No.10:  My mother's school photo She was born in 1906, so this photo is maybe taken in 1916. I circled her face.

Picture No.11:  This was taken in 1940, just before the first Russian invasion. The lady (back row) tutored us in math, because those weak at this subject (me especially) were afraid we won't be admitted into the lyceum, respectively into the gymnasium (for boys).  Here I remember only three names: Anny Weissmann, right next to me in the top row for a change; Rosa Weissmann in the same row, and Martha Feingold, a dermatologist still practicing in Tel-Aviv.
