[Cz-L] Re: czernowitz-l digest: November 04, 2008

Dear CZers,
As you all know, last month I attended the symposium and the unveiling of=
 
the Popovici statue in Romania. I also met the phenomenal Florentin and hi=
s
colleagues in the association. I want it to be known that: NOT ALL OF US=
, AND
CERTAINLY NOT ME, would ask that Floretin NOT GET INVOLVED in this project=
.
Frankly, I see it as a slap-in-the-face to all the wonderful Romanian peop=
le
who have dedicated and volunteered their time, energy, and yes, money (did=
 
anyone from the CZ list send Florentin money for the statue?) to ask them =
to
stay out of the project. ASKING THEM NOT TO GET INVOLVED is one more way=
 to
express that this is a Jewish project. There are people in this group who=
 
seem to work very hard at separating people rather than unite them.
Furthermore, with regard to saying
"I hope they will include the Romanian inscription as a sign of good will"=
:
HOPE IS VERY NICE, BUT GETTING INVOLVED IN A PROJECT IS EVEN NICER....IT I=
S
THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALKING THE TALK AND WALKING THE WALK. While th=
is
list be-labors the plaque issue for months/years?
Florentin and his Association is actively doing something about it. I
invite others to write to Florentin and tell him what you think of his wor=
k and
dedication; he is a man among men. I am embarrassed to be a member of this=
 
group.
