22. This is the story of Militta Seiler,
born in Czernowitz in 1929 as told by herself in an inteview for
the Centropa project (Witness to a Jewish Century). Perhaps some
of you knew her? For me, her story paints a most vivid picture of
life in Cernauti between the wars; during the war in Transnistria; and
back to Romainia. She recounts briefly going to the 'big Temple'
and also going to the Yiddish theatre with her mother to see Sidi Tal.
