[Cz-L] Edgar G. Robinson and Czernowitz

Greetings,

I had told Jerome earlier that yesterday I saw the movie "Dr. Ehrlich's
Magic Bullet," a biographical film about Dr. Paul Ehrlich who, among other
discoveries, found the cure for syphilis. He was Jewish and lived and worked
in Berlin, Germany in the late 1800s. The movie starred Edgar G. Robinson in
the title role.

Many of us know that Edgar G. Robinson was Jewish too, born Emmanuel
Goldberg, but did everyone know he was from Czernowitz? Jerome told me this
fact which I never knew. The odd thing is that the theatrical release of the
Ehrlich film was March 2, 1940. I believe 1940 was same year that the Red
Army occupied Czernowitz.
Just a bit of perspective...


Best,
