[Cz-L] Jewish Museum - thoughts

Dear friends,

I am reading all the correspondence concerning the Jewish Museum in Cz., and wonder: how come, that the whole list does not understand that it will not be us who'll decide what will, or will not be shown at that museum's exhibitions.

I am thinking right now on two wonderful museums in Israel:
1: The museum in Or-Yehuda, with focus on Iraqi Jewry.
2: The museum in Zfat (Safed), who's collections are devoted to the community of the Hungarian-speaking Jewry. Both of them excellent museums, with a lot of educational and genealogical activities. (I can judge, since I retired as a librarian at the "Eretz-Israel Museum" in Ramat-Aviv, Tel-Aviv).

If we want a museum that will be a mirror of Jewsih life in Bukovina, the good and bad times, the heritage, the W.W. 2 disasters, also the positive influence of the very-good Aliya of Romanians who survived the horrors, and choose Israel to be their homeland, an Aliya that did a lot in a very honorable and quiet way - well - I think that such a museum should come into life in N.Y, or Washington D.C., or Tel-Aviv or Haifa. If that will happen, we will reach a much larger audience, both locals and tourists, who will learn whatever is to learn about our forefathers, and Jewish life, culture and accomplishments in Bukovina.
 
I want to tell you about my cousin Berta Zamir, nee Rosner, born in Czer., who did not want to join a Rosner roots trip to Bukovina in 2001. She said - "I have such wonderful memories from my youth-years in Cz. - I do not want to spoil them."

Please, excuse me, all of you, for sharing with you what I have on my heart, and want to tell you for a long time (and do excuse also my
 spelling mistakes...): Czernowitz has "vomitted" us, and killed our families. Charish your memories. Share them with your children and grandchildren. Write them down, and subbmit them to the correct archives, and stop courting Czernowitz, who is interested mainly in our materials and Dollars.

Since Pessach is behind the door - do not forget to back a toch - with a bit of potato-starch, and have a very happy Pessach!

All the best - Miriam Lava, nee Rosner, Israel
