Re: [Cz-L] Edgar G. Robinson and Czernowitz

I have known for a very long time that Edgar G. Robinson
was either from Czernowitz or vicinity. My parents told me.
Czernowitzers were always very proud of the famous people who were from
Czernowitz, but sometime it was enough to have passed through Czernowitz,
to be considered "ein Unseriger", (one of us).

If we could be proud of them, they were one of us, if we were not, we said:
He really is not from Czernowitz, just from nearby, or even worse, such as:
Eigentlich ist Er aus Besarabien - Really he is from Besarabia.
