Re: [Cz-L] Should Jews live in Czernowitz?

In answer to Paul Heger:

As often before, I find what the bible says about letting people =20
enjoy the fruit of their labor,
or of their plans, before going to fight a war, very wise, humane and =20=

just.
I also understand Paul's feelings, but possibly because I left =20
Czernowitz
at the age of eight, I do not regret seeing the property of my =20
grandparents,
belonging to the school of Medicine. In my memory it was lost many =20
times before:
In 1940 to the Soviet army, in 1941 to a Romanian with the right =20
connections and
in 1944, again to the soviet Union.
My grandmother, who planned the buildings and who built up the business
which was located in them, died in 1937 and was spared seeing them =20
being taken away
from her family. For this I am grateful.

All material things are destroyed in time, what no one can take away =20
from us,
are our memories and the ideas and ideals our parents transmitted to us.
