My grandfather, Adolph Mechner (1897-1988), was born in Czernowitz and lived there until 1918. At age 80, he wrote a detailed family autobiography that I thought this group might find interesting. It includes his reminiscences, descriptions, and photographs of life in Czernowitz, as well as his later life in Vienna and New York.
I've transferred his work from 1,000 typed pages to https://mechnerzieglerfamily.com so that it can be read online. Just click on "Adolph Mechner" in the Memoirs tab at either the top or bottom of the home page. The site also includes memoirs by his son Francis (my father) and daughter Johanna, and interviews with other family members. I'm an American writer and video game designer, born in New York and now living in Montpellier, France.
