Re: [Cz-L] Childhood in Czernowitz

Mimi: I always credited the Cz University as well as its schools -
especially the gymnasium - with turning out so many highly cultured writers,
artists, actors and musicians. But not having lived in Czernowitz, i have
relied on the information from my brilliant late father, a Cz native, as well
as what was gleaned from my interest in these professions. When Dad
arrived in New York at age 12 and was tested by the public schools, they found
his Cz education so advanced that he was assigned to the upper high school
grades and after graduation was omitted to medical school.
     If course that was back in the early 1900s, but judging from the
e-mail from List
members of a later generation, Cz's educational and cultural standards had
to be very high in the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

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?
