A new edition of "Die Stimme", the monthly newspaper for the Bukovinians, was published on 01-SEP-1958. Let's take a journey into the past together to comprehend what moved our ancestors, their relatives and friends back then! Wladimir Zaloziecki came from what was probably one of the wealthiest families in Bukovina, with a boyar estate near Czernowitz. He was born on July 27, 1884, in Czernowitz. After studying at the universities of Czernowitz, Munich, Vienna, Florence, and Rome, he received his doctorate from the Faculty of Law in 1906 and subsequently studied art history in Vienna (Doctorate in 1920). In 1916, he was imprisoned by the Russians, but subsequently managed to flee during the Tsarist era. Along the way: lamplighter, hunter, barge captain, icon painter, apple vendor, newspaper vendor, corpse washer, and cowherd. With two doctorates under his belt and after all those career steps, why not become a puppeteer as well? I would have loved to have been there for a performance of “WLDIMIR ZALOZIECKI – PUPPETEER”! "In a West German newspaper, we find the following note: 'The world is running low on original characters, and a monument should be erected here to a truly humorous and splendid specimen: Wladimir von Zalozieckyi, Ukrainian Baron, professor, Doctor of Law and Doctor of Philosophy, retired senator and legation councilor, now a puppeteer and, as such, a brilliant interpreter of Goethe, Nietzsche, Rilke, Chekhov, and Morgenstern. Should you ever see a cheerful old gentleman traveling through the countryside, it may well be him on his way to the next performance of his one-man theater. His characters—which he simply slips onto his fingers as carved puppet heads (some designed for him by artists such as Kubin and Chagall)—he replaces, if necessary, with eggshells or potatoes. It is the interplay of his hands and the versatility of his language that conjure up the atmosphere that captivates every audience member. The Puppeteer Baron is one of the last sages who, with a smile, stands above the hustle and bustle of our times. We would just like to note that Dr. Wladimir Zaloziecki, who was an artist, politician, and philosopher all in one, promoted Jewish intellectual life (Barasch, Steinbarg, and many others) in Bukovina with particular zeal. - Careers often take winding paths. - But the fact that they lead from senator to puppeteer is surely one of the strangest quirks of our times.'" https://diasporiana.org.ua/wp-content/uploads/books/17911/file.pdf https://austria-forum.org/af/Wissenssammlungen/Essays/Geschichte/Zalozieckyj_Sas https://difmoe.eu/uuid/uuid:7242003a-346e-4ac2-b3fa-d53f203eb492 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!
