Which one is Prof. Moshe Weisinger?

From Caryn Wariner

ProfWeisinger

In this group photograph I am trying to figure out which gentleman is Prof.
Moshe Weisinger. It is so hard to see the rows. Does anyone know by chance
which one is Prof Moshe Weisinger? I am sure he is one of my relatives.
Moshe Weisinger was also my grandfather’s name and he left Czernowitz in 1907
to come to NY. My great-grandfather Zallel (Charles) Weisinger died in
Czernowitz about 1920 or 1921 I think.

Identify these folks for Andy Halmay

I found this very bright and clear snapshot (attached) of my late uncle Julius Gutmann with a group of happy looking people in 1943. To the best of my recollection, he and my aunt Hilda and cousin Turi together with 40 other Jewish families from Cz or Bukovina traded all their belongings for a ship which they intended to sail to Palestine. I believe this was in 1940.

The ship was not seaworthy and went down off Turkey but no lives were lost and they ended up in a British camp on Cyprus which, apparently, they thoroughly enjoyed.

I am not clear on when they made it to Israel. This picture was taken in Pedoulas, Cyprus. The text is from the back of the snapshot. He mentions some names that are not familiar to me which would have been known by my parents thus I presume they were Czernowitzers.

I would like our group to check the faces to see if anyone recognizes anyone.

Cheers,
Andy

Cry of Desperation from Siberia via Shanghai to Czernowitz

Liebste Rosa!
Habe Dir schon 2 mal geschrieben und zwar aus dem Kolchos Krasnojar in Sibirien wo ich mit meiner Mutter, Benno und Selma seit dem 25. Juli [1941] bin. Papa wurde auch genommen aber wissen wir nicht wo er sich befindet. Wir sind alle gesund arbeiten alle ausser Mama im Kolchos. Benno macht einen Brunnen, ich und Selma arbeiten im Felde. Bitte Dich liebe Rosa, nachdem ich keine Antwort auf meine Karten habe, nochmals sofort nach Cernauti zu Israel und Max oder auch auf die Adresse Mamas jüngster Schwester Rosa Schachner, Russischegasse 74 schreiben wo wir uns befinden, genau unsere Adresse angeben und sie anfragen, wo Burschi sich befindet, denn wir wissen nichts von ihm, und sie bitten an Dich ausführlich zu schreiben das Du uns dann weiterbefördern wirst. Sie können auch versuchen direkt zu schreiben. Unsere Adresse ist: Krasnojar Pudinskej Rayon Nowosibirskej Oblast bei Tamilof Nicolai. Bitte schreibe gleich nur rekomandiert damit ich wenigstens von Dir eine Nachricht habe. Lege den Leuten ans Herz sofort auch zu schreiben und jeden von der Familie von unserem Aufenthalt zu verständigen und Burschi soll unbedingt auch schreiben weil wir sehr erzweifeln. Es küsst Dich und Richard Deine verzweifelte Alma. Küsse von Benno und Selma sind noch bei der Arbeit. Grüsse von Mama. Schicke denen vielleicht die Karte ein damit sie persönlicheres Lebenszeichen haben.

Dearest Rosa,
I wrote to you twice already, in fact I am writing to you from Kolchos Krasnojar in Siberia where I have been since July 25 [1941] together with my mother, Benno and Selma. They also took Dad but we do not know where he may be. We are all in good health and all – except for mother – work in Kolchos.  Benno is building a well; Selma and I are working in the fields. I beg of you dearest Rosa, since I did not receive any response to my cards please immediately write to Israel or Max in Cernauti or to the address of mother´s youngest sister Rosa Schachner, Russische Gasse 74 and provide them with our exact address while also asking where Burschi may be as we do not know anything about his whereabouts. Please ask them to reply in great detail and then please forward their message to us. They may also try to write to us directly. Our address is: Krasnojar Pudinskej Rayon Nowosibirskej Oblast c/o Tamilof Nicolai. Please write to us by registered letter so that I can be sure to receive your message. Please urge everyone to write to us immediately and please inform each family member of our whereabouts. Burschi too shall write immediately as we are really despaired. Kissing you and Richard your despaired Alma. Also kisses from Benno and Selma who are still at work. Greetings from mother. Maybe send the card to them so that they receive a personal sign of life.

Semi-monthly journal of the Cernautian school of painting

This came from List Member Daniel Dubowy… It is a pdf of something his father did in 1924 in Czernowitz when he was 16 years old.

Daniel explains:

Hi Jerome,

My German is not very good either, I used Google Translate for the
title: semi-monthly journal of the Cernautian school of painting. In
1924 my father was 16 years old, I don’t know if such a school really
existed but I suspect this was a fictitious name for a group of students
with artisitic talents in the school who wrote this journal by hand. My
father *Erich Dubowy has a few drawings inside.

I take no responsibility for the content as my German is worse than Daniel’s. Your comments then are necessary and welcome .

Hello,

You are listed as the webmaster of a site containing maps of Czernowitz… you are probably aware of a street that was named after Moishe Altman, the yiddish author. Altman was the great grandfather of my wife and we are seeking for info, pictures, etc. of the old country and the whereabouts of him. I have been told that the enclosed picture is of the street I refer to. Can you confirm this? Do you have any further information about him?

Thanks beforehand!
David Gleiser
