Re: [Cz-L] Childhood in Czernowitz

Czernowitz was indeed a most musical town,
Liszt performed in Czernowitz in 1847, before most of our ancestors
lived there. Huberman gave a concert sometimes in the thirties.
But when did Czernowitz start to be a literary town?
I am currently reading a book about Herman Hesse and his third wife,
Ninon Auslander. Ninon got to know Hesse by writing him a letter
about his first book when she was only 14 years old.
Manfred Reifer, in his book "Mein Leben" has a photograph
and some letters he received from Hesse.
Was all of Czernowitz besotted with Hesse?

Does anyone know whether Ninon Auslander was related to Rose Auslander?

Why was Hesse so popular in Czernowitz?
