[Cz-L] Ringplatz Poster

Ringplatz Poster.

On the Czernowitz Ringplatz, on that enormous concrete wall behind
  the stern looking Shevchenko monument , a poster of giant dimension
has been exposed. It is the first written document in which Czernowitz
was mentioned. Hence its importance . It deals about a trade agreement
between Alexandru the Good of Moldova and the Lemberg tradesmen.
 It is from October 1408 and hence we have the 600 Jubilee festivities
  soon.
  How nice and how historically significant.
   How important to the City.
   With all due respect, if asked, I would chose a different document
    as a poster.
     I would hang a poster of a Popovici Authorization issued to one
     Leibowitch Samuel ,wife Gitl and two children ,to be temporarily
     exempted from evacuation to Transnistria, in October 1941.
       Much more important than a trade agreement with the Lemberg
      tradesmen.
        Leibowitch and family stayed alive , left Czernowitz and
        settled in Baltimore. He was a taylor.
           All this, due to this authorization.
         He ,and others, kept the story alive. For the world to know.
         And Czernowitz today is famous ,not because of the Lemberg
         agreement, but for its Jews.
          Everybody knows this except the City administration.
