Google-translate, I have not had time to do any improvements. (There are
also some photographs.)

The road in Chernivtsi was remarkably beautiful: the golden autumn along the
route all the green-red-gold, pestroe and fresh. I really do not
photographed - through the glass windows of the machine gets bad, and go for
shots did not like.
Well, yes okay.

Has come under evening. I have identified as a director of the museum -
Natale Dmitrievne with which I was familiar in absentia - we rewrite on the
site.
And the next day in the morning went to the museum itself.

It is situated in a very beautiful building of the former Jewish people's
homes. Built he was in the Austrian time (and another in the city were
Romanian people's house, Polish, German and Ukrainian - all very beautiful).
Care of Soviet rule, however, the Jewish house turned into a palace culture
of Textile :-).

Some elements of the interior, however, survived. Lions in the lobby
watching zlodeyski (but the museum is located immediately at the entrance to
the building, so that you can include fear). And the fence ladder flown
decorated with six stars.
IM told that the fence and experienced Romanian during the 20-30-nineties,
when the authorities were not too sympathetic to Jews, Romanian and German
occupation during the Second World War. But the Soviet power, and there has
been very consistent. Immediately after the war had been specially prignany
German prisoners of war who cut corners at the stars, that was not visible
Jewish symbols.
More recently, local Jewish activists in the person of the same IM with
friends recovered this fence in the old form, and specifically left a piece
of "clipped" form.

A museum is (still) only two rooms for exhibits and krohotnuyu podsobku -
the future of the repository of funds. However, what happened, I think,
very, very interesting, very solid and beautiful.
We got hot at the moment stands and Map-finished mounted. I was allowed to
shift the exhibits in cabinets, benches, and I was quite happy :-)))

And we develop the live Corner "- a fragment of the room with a table
Saturday, candlesticks and clothing to the hanger - as if the hosts at the
minute and came back now.

The road in Chernivtsi began almost straight from Borispol. Joseph with
Natasha met me at the airport - thus able to see Natashenkoy that the next
day ukatila in its far-train-bus trip.
And we went by car, too, in neblizhny way - still 560 km away.

Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia obehali on ring road, but in Berdichev zaehali at my
request: I wanted to see the town where my father comes.

The impression is very painful, that is no impression. However, we emphasize
the city does not spin, so do not rule out that somewhere around the corner
remain outside my indescribable beauty.

But it was a bright spot, and - here this monastery? Cathedral?
Then I did not know, and now looked down and I know - this is a Catholic
cathedral sv.Varvary, which was crowned Honore de Balzac with Evelyn Ghana.
Not Khukhro-muhry.

Learn more about him here - the site "castles and churches of Ukraine (by
the way, I recommend - very rich resource).
