[Cz-L] Reunion, Segment E of the program

Dear Czernowitzers,

On Dec. 2nd I sent you a letter outlining my ideas for the segment
of the program called:

"What was Czernowitz and in particular
Jewish Czernowitz really like?"

I could have subtitled it:
"Czernowitz; official history and personal memory"

It is my plan that 5 - 8 participants will each present the known facts and
figures about the following aspects of life in Czernowitz in the period from
about 1880 till 1940:

1. Population size and make-up.
2. Political and legal status of the Jews during the Austrian
   and the Romanian period.
3. Economic data; incomes size and distribution
4. Educational data; the schools, number of students, degrees attained.
5. Cultural data; newspapers published during this period, cultural clubs
   and organizations, theatre and music performances, etc.
6. Social relations between Jews and the other segments of the population
7. Social relations within the Jewish community.

These facts and figures are available, in various books and publications

The presentations to be followed by a general discussion, in which I hope
many participants will tell of their own or their parents' memories and
impressions of Czernowitz and try to compare these with the generally
accepted view of Czernowitz.

In case I did not make it clear previously, this segment of the program will
only be possible if there are volunteers to do the required reading and
present the facts and figures.

Please volunteer, you have 3 months to get ready.
