Warmest Regards, Bruce From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Marion Tauschwitz <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, February 20, 2025 at 5:18 AM To: CZERNOWITZ-L <[email protected]>, [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [czernowitz-l] voices from the past Dear all, In May 2008, Alfred Schneider replied to an enquiry from Irene and Helene Silverblatt, who were looking for the poet ‘Discipol Mihnea’, whose poem ‘Crepuscul’ Selma had translated into German. Alfred Schneider wrote: ‘3. I cannot help with Discipol Mihnea. A cursory internet search was unsuccessful. ‘Discipol’ is used in Romanian as the English “disciple” and could have been a nom-de-plume.’ Habent sua fata libelli - because books have a life of their own, we now know the answer: In Argentina, a grandson is researching his Romanian grandfather, who was a poet and lived in Czernowitz. He finds in a Russian! Wikipedia entry that a poem by his grandfather has been translated into German and published in my biography on ‘Selma Merbaum. I haven't had time to finish to finish writing it’. The grandson is delighted by this information and contacts me. And he tells me about his grandfather, who became a famous poet: he was only three years older than Selma, and his little book of poems ‘Preludiu’ was published in Czernowitz in 1940. Selma Merbaum apparently exchanged ideas with young contemporary poets! Discipol Mihnea (pseudonym) - survived the Holocaust and became famous. Paul Mihnea (born 22 July 1921, Briceni, Romania - died 31 August 1994, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova) was a Moldovan poet and translator. He was born in Briceni in 1921 into a Jewish family under the name Pincu Șilman. He attended grammar school in Chernivtsi and wrote poetry while still at school. His first book, Preludiu, was published in Chernivtsi in 1940 (Discipol Mihnea. Preludiu. With a foreword by Mircea Streinul. Cernauți: Nord, 1940 - 60 pp. Discipol means ‘apostle’, his grandson Kirill told me. Isn't it marvellous that the voices from Czernowitz survive?
