[Cz-L] The Plaque

Florentin Lehaci makes a very good point when he asks about what are the plans for the time when the plaque is finally unveiled. Mimi has had such a struggle getting approval for the plaque that there was little thought given to the unveiling itself.

We have two points of view at the moment on the quality of relations between Romania and the Ukrainians running what was once our town. Conceivably both views may be right since individuals among the city's rulers may be at odds with each other on this issue.

But now, assuming the approval is truly fait accompli, there can be no more rationalization over the risk of official Romanian involvement, which would be most appropriate. At this point it might be in order to also invite the participation of the City Council in plans for the unveiling and certainly an international press release should be issued announcing the event - it will remind the world of an heroic man and of the fate of so many of Czernowitzers. As an inducement to the more negative individuals at Cz City Hall, this will also help put Cz on the map and will function as tourism promotion.
