Sidi Tal was a great great talent and even my very old mother (over 90)
rememers how moved she was when she went to the theatre with her parents
and saw a play with young Sidi. She performed mainly in Jiddish, and
could make you laugh or cry until you were in tears. I wonder if her
relative Renee Steinig has any kind of recording of her voice. We have a
film about remnants of Jewishness in Eastern Europe where her voice is
briefly heard in a shattering poem while the camera moves along the
inner walls of the cemetery building. Sidi is now buried with her
husband who was the director of the Philharmony in Czernowitz, in
another cemetery, on an alley where prominent Cz. artists are buried.
Renee can certainly say more about Sidi.

As is well known, Celan and Schmidt are not buried in Czernowitz, Celan
in Paris and Schmidt in Zürich, Rose Ausländer in Düsseldorf. There are
several notables, or well-known families, buried in the cemetery, such
as the inscription on the wall of the Ceremonial Hall 10 (?) shows, and
most of whom survived, from the then or later famous, fled or left as
soon as they could.
And in WWI, Archbishop Repta his and thus saved the Thora Rolls from the
Temple. Hey Mimi, is this a quiz?
Maybe tomorrow there will be more infos.
Regards,
Gabriele
