Subject: [czernowitz-l] Going East by Heading West - Antwerp (198 km)
Czernowitzers…

This is the first stage of a journey into the past, following in the footsteps 
of my great-great-grandfather Abraham Fleischer, born in 1800 in Tarnobrzeg. 
This is in Polish Subcarpathia and you can already guess what "East" stands for 
in the motto of the trip:

Abraham Fleischer was a butcher (in German: Fleischer) by trade, what else! His 
500 or so descendants are scattered all over the world, most of whom now live 
in the USA, Great Britain and in France. Whom do we meet in Antwerp? Abraham's 
grandson Salomon and his children arrived just before the start of the First 
World War and settled in the Jewish Quarter, where else would they have! They 
moved to Great Britain in the 1930s, just in time to escape the Holocaust and 
Second World War. Not so my uncle Maximilian Hauster, born in Czernowitz on 
26-Nov-1909, a great-grandson of Abraham. He was arrested in Brussels in 1942, 
spent almost a year and a half in the Fort Breendonk Concentration Camp before 
being deported via the SS Transit Camp Mechelen to Auschwitz on 14.01.1943 and 
murdered there.
