Czernowitzers... Our good friend and fellow member Jan Schrastetter, who not only created the "Digitalization Project Jewish German Bukovina 1918+" but is currently working on a similar project for the upcoming European Capital of Culture Timisoara, has discovered the following love message from the year 1934:
https://www.difmoe.eu/uuid/uuid:e0a5f653-634b-42ed-9711-a3f7881d3067 "Darling, upon receiving this card, you already know from your own experience that the mail between Timișoara and Czernowitz sometimes takes a long time. First and foremost, it depends on whether the letter makes it the same day to the railroad and whether it is not delayed in Bucharest for a day due to carelessness or a large quantity of mail. You do not need to worry, I will write quite often, however less than I’m thinking of you because you are all the time in my thoughts and in my heart. In our situation the nerves and the mood sometimes fail. Be sincerely greeted and kissed by your loving Jo." I don't know whether love led to success, in any case we learn from the "Digitalization Project Jewish German Bukovina 1918+" that Lotte Wildmann later became Lotte Terner and that she was the sister of Dr. Emanuel Wildmann, one of the most important timber industrialists of Bukovina, who died in 1972. Lotte apparently still lived in Timisoara at that time, as we learn from "Die Stimme" of 01.06.1972: https://www.difmoe.eu/uuid/uuid:f9a9ad8c-8973-4b78-b614-7a6f253f6717 Wildmann, Terner and Scharfstein are prominent Czernowitz names and perhaps they ring a bell with you?! Do not hesitate, let us know! Thank you so much, dearest Jan, and please keep doing your magnificent work!
