Re: [Cz-L] RE: 600 YEARS CZERNOWITZ CELEBRATIONS...

 I have an idea and would like to hear what others think.

There is documentary evidence that the first Jews settled in Bukovina as
early as 1408. Perhaps we can make a proposal in conjunction with the
600th anniversary - which is just about as long as Jews have inhabited
Bukovina - that the cinema/temple be turned into a museum dedicated to the
story of the Jews of Bukovina, and not only the tragic aspects, but their
tremendous contribution in all fields, both before and after the war, in
Europe and elsewhere. There is a young lady in the U.S. who is the
daughter of Ilya Kotch, a city councillor in Chernivtsi who is of Jewish
descent. She has been researching this subject, and her father might be
interested in advancing such a project. Such a project should probably be
undertaken by the Chernivtsi municipal government and we could assist with
information, photos, films, recordings, documents, artifacts, etc.

hi to all. while on 2 visit s to czernowitz i was told by different
people
that both the germans and then the russians wanted to tear down the temple.
neither succeeded , the walls are too thick and strong and to blow it up
would have destroyed the whole area. if anything is to be done then i can
see no better plan than to rededicate it as what it is......the czernowitz
temple. cornel
