Abraham is right.

Prof. Zwi Yavets was THE Czernowitzer par excellence!

The (Hebrew) book launch in May 2008 in the big auditorium of the Eretz
Israel Museum in Tel-Aviv was a real "Czernowitzer happening".

Hundreds attended and laughed to the very Czernowitzer jokes and allusions
during Lia Koenig's stand-up show ( in" Czernowitzer Deutsch").

Then we queued 1 hour to receive his signature on the new book. He talked to
everyone!

He wrote two slightly different versions in Hebrew and German .

All the names of persons are indexed at the end of the books.

Zwi Yavetz was an important and charismatic personality and a dear friend of
my late cousin Marcel-Meir Enzer whom he met in Cyprus 1942.

I'm so sorry we can not ask him any more questions about this period.

Zichrono lebracha,
Irene

Thank you Florence and Abraham, for letting us know.
Zvi Yavetz was a worthy Czernowitzer, a person, we can be proud to to be
associated with, even if very, very remotely.

I highly recommend that those who know German, read his book " Erinnerungen
an Czernowitz". Unfortunately I do not know whether it has been translated
into English.

Florence and Abraham, if you are in contact with the Yavetz family, please
send them condolences from the "Czernowitz-List",
