[Cz-L] A most extraordinary cemetery restoration story...

Czernowitzers... I happened to spot this link in a post on the
JewishGen listserv. This is certainly an outstanding example of what
'could' happen as regards cemetery restoration, and is well worth a
read. If you take the time to click on the link, do not exit until
you've read the amazing story of Rita Vaiva (the link to this is in
the article), a non-Jewish lass who started restoring the stones in
this Lithuanian cemetery anonymously and who taught herself Hebrew in
order to do it. Magnificent!

Here's the direct link:

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Best,
jerome
