Dear all I hadn’t realized that my email address would be scrubbed from my message to the list, so for anyone interested in discussing the Fisher/Fischer, Baumer, or Tannenbaum/Tenenboim families: my email is [email protected]. My apologies for the double post.
While I'm at it: I'm also trying to find information about a woman called Klara Kirmaier, who lived in Cernauti (Czernowitz) in the late 1930s. My great grandfather was a man named Ludwig Tannenbaum. He was in Vienna in 1938, but was from Czernowitz. I have a document in which he petitioned to emigrate from Austria in 1938 and he lists Klara Kirmaier as his sister, and gives Cernauti as her location. I have managed to find references to a Klara Kirmaier who sent money to Jewish deportees to Transnistria. And I have found a Clara Kirmaier married to Peret Kirmaier, both recorded as having died during the war/Holocaust, leaving behind two orphaned children. But I don't know if these are the same person, or if either of them were sister to Ludwig Tannenbaum. Again, anyone who knows anything about Lionora Fisher/Fischer, the Baumers, the Tannenbaums, and/or Klara Kirmeier - I'd love to hear from you. I'm eager to learn what happened to my relatives who once lived in Czernowitz.

Bottom line up-front: I wonder if anyone can help me to find information about a woman called Lionora Fisher (or Fischer), who submitted pages of testimony about my family via Yad Vashem in the 1960s. She is likely deceased by now. But on those pages of testimony, she listed Czernowitz as her place of residence before the Holocaust. My great grandmother was called Lionore Tannenbaum (nee Baumer), also from Czernowitz. She later moved to Miskolc in Hungary and then Vienna. Lionora was murdered at Maly Trostinec. On the Yad Vashem website, there is an entry for her that includes testimony from a woman called Lionora Fisher. I don’t know who Lionora Fisher was, but she obviously knew my great grandmother well enough to submit a page of testimony about her. It seems they were relatives. Perhaps she was even named after her. And as I said, she mentions Czernowitz in her pages of testimony, so I'm assuming she was from a side of the family that remained in Bukovina after others moved west. I have been trying to learn more about Lionora Fisher, but my Internet searches are coming up short. (I found a grave in Haifa that might be hers, but I have no way of knowing.) I thought there’s a small chance that someone on this list might have some ideas. If it helps, my great grandmother’s name is sometimes written as Lionora (“Lola”) Tenenboim. Thanks in advance. I'd be thrilled to discuss this "off list" with anyone who might be interested in chatting.
