Re: [Cz-L] Jewish Museum in Czernowitz

Dear Mimi and list members
I agree wholeheartedly with accepting Mr. Zissel's decision of
having" one wall in the Jewish museum dedicated to the events of the
Holocaust as experienced by the Jews of Czernowitz" and would also
like the questions Mimi asks to be addressed. I'd also like to
support the three points Mimi makes about the "contents" of the wall
display.
Regards
Ethel
