      "Childhood in
        Lackenbach" as told by Josef LOEFFLER
          to Yohanan LOEFFLER, translated from Hebrew.
        
      
      "I had a happy childhood in
          Lackenbach. All summer I was barefoot, climbing up fruit trees
          and fences. 
          We used to play soccer in the street with a ball made of
          'shmates' (rags) until it fell apart. 
          When the rich uncle came from Wien on
          the train to visit, he used to bring presents. 
          Once he brought a watermelon (which I never saw before). 
          He always brought me a baloon. By the time we walked home from
          the train station the baloon was gone. 
          We were religious. From age 3 I went to the Cheder in
          Lackenbach. 
          Later I went to the Jewish school (see school photos) in
          Lackenbach. 
          When I finished school, I was about 14, I went to a Talmud
          Tora in Wien.
          I stayed all week with my uncle and came home for the
          weekend."
