Re: [Cz-L] Letter to Mr. Josef Zissels

Dear Czernowitzers,
I think the letter that Mimi sent to Mr. Zissels is well written and
appropriate. I would encourage as many members of the List as possible to
also send similar letters to him; he might perhaps reconsider his decision.
Regarding the question whether we should accept the idea to have a museum
without the Holocaust - As far as I am concerned, it would be better not to
have a museum at all if the Shoah is omitted.
