Annie Hammer, born Kincs, in 1920 in Timișoara - excerpt from Jewish Destinies in Timișoaraby Getta Neumann, Hasefer Publishing House, Bucharest, 2014.

My father was of the Sephardic religion and in the Sephardic community, the one who said the prayers wasn’t called rabbi, but hazan. In Timișoara my parents opened a small shop. My mother and father both worked in the shop. My mother also did tailoring and they both were very busy. What I remember is that I grew up in a courtyard with many neighbours, with children in the courtyard who all spoke Hungarian. And in order to tell my parents better what I wanted, I would tell my brother in Hungarian to tell my mother this and that and he would translate it into Romanian. I had a brother three years older who died at the age of thirteen.

(...) And I tell you that the Orthodox lived in Fabric too, not only in Iosefin. Even today the Synagogue in Iosefin is an Orthodox synagogue, it's not a neolog, we are neolog, the Citadel and Fabric, but Orthodox Jews lived in Fabric. Ecaterina Teodoroiu Street still bears this name, Tandlery. Do you know what that Tandleryis? Junk, junk street/ flea market. Because you could find all the old furniture there. You needed something, a wardrobe, you were going there. Tandlerei, junk street/ flea market. Nowadays it's called ..... it's where the Serbian Church is just to the left. Perpendicular to the church. What's it called? Ecaterina Teodoroiu street is the other one. That's where the Spanish church used to be. The Orthodox Church from Fabric was in the Ion Creangă, with their rabbis and their specific community. But this street, sir?! We are in Traian Square, here is the Serbian Church and you turn left. Not Anton Pann, not to the brewery, the other way round. That was the Jewish Street itself. There was Tandlerei. In Ecaterina Teodoroiu Street there is a place where the hederwas, the primary Jewish school where religion was taught, also called heider or heder. This is a purely Jewish school for religious initiation. The connection between Trajan Square and Ecaterina Teodoroiu was Tandlerei, there was also the furrier Kohn, the Jews were there. This neighbourhood is Jewish. And Ion Creangă, where the church (synagogue) is. Even today, in the churchyard, there is the mitzvah, there is the bath. And today it still exists, it is the ritual bath. Well, you couldn't set foot in the synagogue, you couldn't bathe the first time. With steam, with water. It's there in the courtyard. The remains are made of concrete. Men's program finishes, at three, at four it’s done, ready, cleaned and then women and girls come in. Clean. There's no such thing. Those are the laws of Moses. We don't have any, we haven't had any. No, but the Orthodox... ah..., those are religious, sir. They supported these people.

The Turkish court

On the street that used to be called Ulița Jidovească, now called 1 Mai, lived moneylenders and antique dealers. They were all Jews, many of them were Gallicans, and they wore those little hair-braces and black plush hats. Many merchants borrowed money from these moneylenders who came here to this inn called the Turkish Court. The name Turkish Court is inappropriate because Turks did not come here, but Christian merchants from Wallachia, Serbia, which was under the Turks, and from Bulgaria, which was also under the Turks. In the basement were the warehouses. It probably existed around the beginning of the last century, around 1825-1830. Only the style is copied from the Turkish buildings in Lipova where you will see arched corridors. (...)
