Re: [Cz-L] Childhood in Czernowitz

Both of you; Iris and Jerry/Yosef are right.
I have the school certificates of my father and the list of subjects
they were taught in high-school is amazing. But it was more than that;
there must have been an atmosphere in which people wanted to learn,
were interested in what was considered "Kultur" and were open
to the wider world.
