No, I won't be discovering a new continent, but we will certainly get some interesting travel impressions. "East" means Galicia, Transcarpathia and maybe even beyond. "West" means ..., stay tuned and let me surprise you! Unlike one of Jonathan Franzen's protagonists in his "Corrections", I am convinced that we will discover much more in that Eastern European region where so many of our ancestors originally came from: „She traveled as far east as Ruthenia, the birthplace of Enid’s father’s parents, now a trans-Carpathian smidgen of the Ukraine. In the landscapes she traversed there was no trace of shtetl. No Jews to speak of in any but the largest cities. Everything as durably, drably Gentile as she’d reconciled herself to being. The food, by and large, was coarse. The Carpathian highlands, everywhere scarred with the stab wounds of coal and pitchblende mining, looked suitable for burying lime-sprinkled bodies in mass graves. Denise saw faces that resembled her own, but they were closed and prematurely weathered, not a word of English in their eyes. She had no roots. This was not her country.“ Edgar Hauster [iPad] ******************************************************************************* This moderated discussion group is for information exchange on the subject of Czernowitz and Sadagora Jewish History and Genealogy.
