ASF Camps
From Shelley Mitchell
I want to share an interesting experience with you. I was looking at the headstones uncovered by the ASF camps. My grandfather’s name was Moldauer. One of the headstones uncovered was that of a Berta Moldauer. I tried to find out more about her but I couldn’t. I don’t think she was in any of the databases. So I continued my long-term search for my Moldauers and I came across this passport application for her son in Brazil. It shows that Berta was married to Wilhelm and their son was named Jakob. While this information did not help me personally, it can now be added to the information we already have about those who lived in Czernowitz. Without the work of the volunteers, Berta would still be an unknown. Hopefully, her grandchildren will look for her someday.

Medallion
From Jean Weightman:
I have attached two photographs of a medallion I found among my mother’s things. My mother was born in Czernowitz in 1913. Her parents and maternal and paternal grandparents were all Czernowitzers from around the mid 1850s.
The medallion could be Romanian, Austro-Hungarian, German or something else.
It looks like a coin with the tiny photograph fixed to one side and decorated with enamelled Forget-me-nots.
I wonder if anyone from the list is able to identify the gentleman – possibly a monarch – and the coin. I cannot find a date on the medallion. It may have been on the side that was later decorated with the photograph and the flowers.
Thanks and best wishes to all.

Interesting Photo
Sometimes folks send me photos with no information — this is one of those. I always write back asking for whatever info exists — in this case I received no response and the photo eventually got separated from the correspondence, becoming an orphan on my desktop.
So, perhaps the sender will recognize the photo and use the comment box to provide some context?
Looks like the late 20’s early 30’s in beautiful downtown Czernowitz — the Ringplatz by the Dermata shoe store?

Meisler School Class III 1939-40
From Oren Saraf — this photo from his Aunt’s album…
Return with Ehpes to those wonderful? days of yesteryear — Did you attend the Meisler School in 1939-40? Unlikely, but possible. Do you recognize anyone, or think you recognize someone? Oren says his aunt Lotte sits just left of the sign board.

1938 Maccabi Football Club?
From Gabriele Weissmann…
I found this [among] my uncle’s photos. I wonder if anybody recognizes a person. Also, in the background, a building which looks solid enough to have survived the war. Maybe it still stands. I believe it is a Maccabi football team. On the back of the photo is says only “Czernowitz 1938”.

Lyceum Mihai Eminescu
From Gaby Rinzler:
In the center is Professor Goraj,director and co-owner of the private lyceum Mihai Eminescu.
It looks like a graduating class (because of the glasses in their hands)
It is probably 1939-40. I can’t remember how I got in this picture. I am the obviouly younger kid with the open mouth. Many of the boys look very familiar to me but I cannot afix names to them. The big head on the right lower corner may be a cousine of mine Arno Rosenwald..
[I wish to see] if any body recognizes somebody?

The first photo, front and back were taken in Gimmaziul Mirou Costiu (?) in 1936/37. Corinne says: ” My dad wrote the names on the back: he is in the third row [5th from the left]”.

The second photo is of Class 1935 My dad is second from the right in the front row:
The last photo is of my grandmother born Eva Hilsenrathe. It would be great if anyone could remember a name or anything!
