Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz Jewish Museum and Cemetery

Thank you Sasha for the pictures,
   So now it is out, no Holocaust in the Jewish Museum .
   After our heroic battle and celebrated victory - no Holocaust in Museum.
   After the letters to Mr Zissels and his secretaries , letters of
promises.
    After our good-will ,fact finding delegation. And the pictures we sent .
     Nothing .
        Disappointed ?
         To this my mother would say :" Dass ist eine Gemeinheit".
          {"This is a meanness."}
                             Hardy
