Dear Czernowitzers,
I was just informed that people interested in going to the United Nations
ceremony would have to call, or e-mail MELANIE PRUDHOMME at 917-367-3541,
or e-mail her to prudhommem_at_un.org
Best, Abraham K.

> Dear all,
> My former veteran Czernowitzer neighbour, Ms. Ruth Glasberg-Gold, was
> invited to attend the special session of the United Nations General
> Assembly
> on January 27, 2009 where she will speak about Transnistria and
> Czernowitz.
> I do not know whether Czernowitzers living in the New York area could get
> tickets to that event. I imagine most of you read her book "Ruth's
> Journey" which was translated in several languages. For any arrangements
> regarding the UN meeting or any other information I would suggest to
> contact
> her by e-mail addressing it to: glasgold_at_bellsouth.net
> At last, Czernowitz and Transnistria will be known to the entire world. I
> imagine that the representatives of Arab countries and Iran will probably
> boycott the meeting but I don't care.
