Now it's official:
The Jewish Museum, we so much anticipated, will not be
Jewish, not by name anyway .
It is the Museum of History of the Community of Bukovina.
Was this imposed ?
Now it is easier to understand the opposition to the
Holocaust presentation.
" We want a Museum of life , not of death" said the
organizers .
Why did the name Jewish Museum irk them ?
Well , it is a long story starting with Bogdan Chmelnitzky
through the Shtetl pogroms and the killing fields of 1941.
Does the current Popovici plate manipulation belong here too ?
Who knows .
