Czernowitzers... A new edition of "Die Stimme", the monthly newspaper for the Bukovinians, was published on 01-MAY-1958. Let's take a journey into the past together to comprehend what moved our ancestors, their relatives and friends back then!
In its May 1958 issue, "Die Stimme" features an article titled ELISA LOTI—THE PROMISING CAREER OF AN ARTIST. Dr. Victor Landau, New York, reports on the international media coverage Elisa Loti received for her acting roles. All expectations placed on her in the following years were not only met but far exceeded. LIFE MAGAZINE featured Elisa Loti on the cover of its Independence Day 1960 issue: "Elisa Loti: Continental Actress Is a Hit in the U.S." She is currently a practicing psychotherapist in New York City and is working on a memoir about her remarkable life, which she presents in on Vimeo: "Where is home? I'm a small child in a big world. I lived in a town called Cernauti. When my mother was born in the same town, it was called Czernowitz and it belonged to Austria..." "Liselote Scharfstein-Kraft, whom we all fondly remember as sweet little Lottchen with the jet-black eyes from Czernowitz, has made a name for herself—and the people of Czernowitz can be especially proud of that. Lottchen hasn’t really changed. She’s still just as I remember her as a little girl—charming, sweet, kind, and enchanting. And yet, a major transformation has taken place in Lottchen’s life. Today, she is a well-known actress. How did this actually come about? Even back in college in New York, where she studied art among other subjects, Liselote caught people’s attention. As an amateur, she performed in several plays organized by the college art class. Her talent became immediately apparent, and there were probably few plays in which Liselote did not play the leading role. Thus, she made the decision to devote herself to a career in theater. And art was always a part of life in the home of Mrs. Martha and Dr. Scharfstein, so it’s no surprise that her parents show so much understanding and love for their own artist. Lotchen is not only known as a television star and actress; she is well on her way to becoming an INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION STAR. This has been noted by the press in France, Italy, Germany, and Mexico." https://elisalotistein.com/about.html https://vimeo.com/457296677/0829e57837?share=copy&fl=cl&fe=ci https://difmoe.eu/uuid/uuid:166e3ab3-196e-4812-b0ff-f2fe4af3f072 Dr. Manfred Reifer founded the Chug Olej Bukovina [Association of Immigrants from Bukovina] and decided to publish "Die Stimme". He entrusted with this task Dr. Elias Weinstein, the former editor of the renowned daily newspaper "Czernowitzer Morgenblatt". I will try to let "Die Stimme" continue to resound in the future and invite you to follow me on this journey. Your comments are highly welcome!
