Shul of the Rabbi of Chernivtsy Menachem Glisnshtain

From Nesanel [Neil] Peterman who writes:

[…] Some pictures I took of the new Shul of the Rabbi of Chernivtsy Menachem Glisnshtain, located at Mykola Sadovs’kyy 11, January and June 2012 which I think might be of interest to the Ephes collection. The Jewish community of the town is growing as a fullfillment of the legacy of the past.

Hedwig

Now these are the attachments that came with Hedwig’s email. It was hard to recover all but one of the attachments as they were in a Microsoft proprietary format which I don’t have access to. I’ll spare you the gruesome details.

Since my German is worse than my Yiddish, I’m hoping that I got the order of things correct. The forth photo should have been in the photo of the first page; It’s the jacket of Hedwig’s book. You will notice that there are also some strange characters in the text that never got converted correctly in the processing. It ain’t poifect, but hopefully, you can make sense out of it.

Best,
jerome

Offenberg Relative – do you recoginize?

From Hedwig Brenner

Looking for some pictures, I found this lady, Offenberg, a distant relative of my mother in law.

She arrived in Czernowitz illegaly in 1942 from Poland with her husband and a baby. She was hidden by other relatives and asked us for some “Luminal” a medicine for sleep, to give her child, otherwise her uncle was afraid to host them.

If the Germans or Roumanians will catch them, they will be sent to an extermination camp… Mother gave her some tablets and she disappeared, we never heard about them again.

Does someone on this list know of this woman Offenberg? That name is written on the back of this photo.

This is Yehiel, the “gabbe” in Rabbi Koyfmansky’s “shil”. The watercolor was made by Valentin Bukovinets from Nefteyugansk, based on my photo, released at “Three Walks Through Czernowitz – Ten Years Ago Today!”; see more “Czernowitz Watercolors by Valentin Bukovinets”! Thank you, Valentin, for your creative artwork!
