Sort,mimi, but it may well have been the Austrian archbishop sent by the
emperor along time ago who worked with the rabbis...the czernowitz street
layout vastly predates any w.w.2 ukrainian religious figures. cornel

In one of the books about Czernowitz I read, that the city street plan
was designed jointly by Ober-Rabiner Igel and the Bishop of the Ukrainian
Orthodox church. I am sorry I cannot remember his name. During world war
two, the bishop hid Jews in his palace. Someone in Israel is working on
getting him declared as a "righteous gentile" by Yad Va-Shem.
