Joe Poras writes:I have attached a picture of my grandfather taken just about one hundred years ago. From the beautiful fountain in the background which is located in some park, would you know if this was taken in Czernowitz or Vienna and where?
Do you recognize the place this photo was taken?

Edgar Hauster just sent this message to Jerome and I:
“I’ve discovered an interesting article for our section “The Temple at Czernowitz”, released by “Allgemeine Bauzeitung” in Vienna for the year 1882. The article (pdf) covers the building history adding 5 very fine drawings (jpg’s).”Kudos go to Edgar for his research skills in finding this excellent article.

On a peaceful winter morning , the front was quiet but then at 7 sharp:
In a two pronged break- out from two strongholds the troops moved outswiftly.By 8 they met at plot 68 . The encirclement was complete.All the encircled troops put down their arms and surrendered theterritory.Operation Winterstorm was over.Hardy
Recently, Anny Matar and others wrote about the Rotating Chicken on the Cz-L list.
Here’s a snippit of what Anny wrote: […]I dreaded Yom Kippur becausemy Zazia, as we called grandfather, turned the chickens over our heads andwe had to say:”Mir zum Leben dir zum Tod” (me to life and you to death) and that was a terrible thing, never to be forgotten. Then the Shohat came, by then I was as far and as fast as my feet could carry me when I only saw that man……)!!!
Now my question is: from what did this originate; and what is the meaning; and why a chicken? Enquiring minds want to know!
Best,

Horecea Grave Trackers.
Appeal.
We are the group of Czernowitz Cemetery Guides.
We are specialized on the JewishZwintar in Horecea.
We take you to your grave in the shortest time .
Just give us your name and you are there !
All this for a small nominal fee of100 $ per grave.
Special summer deal : 2 adjacent graves for 120 $.
Bring your family – theywill all enjoyvisiting your grave.
Wehave all necessary tools to clear our way .
We can also clean and repair your grave ,if in needed.(Extra pay).
Put us on the job and rest in peace.
Now bad times come to us – buzzards gather in the sky.
With all this voluntary amateur cemetery cleaning, our living is at risk.
Every snapling that they cut brings us closer to the dole.
Strange winds blow on the Zwintar now.
They even want to install satellite grave locators ! GPS !!
Enter your name and get navigation directions !
“Turn left after black monument “
“Bingo, this is your grave “.
Hear this ! Everybody finds his own grave !
Where will this bring us ?
Who will feed our children ?

Nice work, Jeromer! Works well. But it would be nice to have a direct link from the ehpes.com/blog1 location right to “Compose a New Post”. Can it work that way?
I found the file with this post on my hard drive. I think it’s the ceremonial hall at the Cz. cemetery entrance. Who can make some use of these plans? Best to everyone!

Old Plan for the Leichenhalle at the entrance to the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery (?)
Hello Jerome, hi ephes-members. Just testing how to post in the blog. Seems quite simple for the moment. Czernowitzers are bright people, aren´t we?
best regards
