[Cz-L] Museum plan from Natalya Shevchenko

Dear all, Here is the translation of the exhibition outline. Please
remember that this was drawn up before Josef Zissels agreed to include
the Holocaust period. This section will no doubt be added: Natalya
and Mr Zissels are meeting in Chernivtsi today. There is another
document Natalya sent that is being translated right now, I think it
contains the history of the museum project. I am awaiting further
communications about materials that might be useful in this endeavor.
She sent me a mock up of the exhibition space but I know we cannot
include images on our listserv.

Although this is not any of our dream exhibit, I hope you will agree
that this is a good outline,. I think our role right now is to wait
for further communications about what materials will be needed form us
and to organize getting them there, to consult on the Holocaust
section, and to stay in good touch with the exhibit organizers.

I also think we might use some of our energies to get something done
about the recognition of Traian Popovici on this occasion and,
perhaps, to convince city officials to mark some other sites, esp. the
Tempel rather than containing this museum to glass cases in two
rooms. It would be helpful if communications go through me and
Andrew who is translating at this stage.

All the best for Pesach,

Marianne
