>Dear Czernowitzers,
>
>The photographer Shani Bar-On and I are currently working on a new
>photo/text-book and exhibition about the Jewish Bucovina. The
>exhibition and the book will be bilingual in German and in English.
>The book will be published next spring and the traveling exhibition
>will be opened first in Vienna, Austria. We are also organizing
>Holocaust-Education Workshops for Highschools in Austria. The aim of our
>project is to preserve the heritage of the Jewish Bucovina for future
>generations.
>
>Oral-History Interviews:
>In order to publish the book we are looking for Bucovina Jews (who
>were born there) who are either living in Israel, the Bucovina,
>Germany or Austria and who are willing to be interviewed for our
>project.
>
>We are right now especially looking for people in Israel who would
>have time for an Oral-History Interview next week. Shani and I are
>traveling to Israel from June 18 to June 26 and could come to your
>place everywhere in Israel.
>
>We will be coming to Israel a second time to conduct further
>interviews (probably in September or October).
>There might be also the possibility of a trip to the United States in
>November but since our funds are limited we don't know yet if we will
>be able to interview people in the United States & Canada.
>
>A few more words about us: I am a descendant of Bucovina Jews from
>Radautz, Putna and Czernowitz. I was born in Vienna in 1986. I used to
>work for the Leo Baeck Institute New York were I was responsible for
>the "Austrian Heritage Collection", an oral-history interview project
>about Austrian-Jewish Immigrants in the United States. These days I am
>working as a freelance journalist for a Jewish newspaper in Berlin.
>Shani Bar-On is a photographer from Israel. Her family came originally
>from the Czech Republic and Romania. She studied photography at the
>Ben Gurion University of the Negev and worked on various projects in
>Israel, Europe and North America. We met in New York and got married
>in October 2008 and soon after moved to Berlin.
>
>If you live in Israel (or know someone who lives in Israel) and would
>like to participate in our Oral-History Interview Project then please
>feel free to contact us anytime. Probably the best way to reach us is
>by email or telephone. We can also call you back if you send us your
>number.
>
>I tried to add our project schedule to this email. But i think it is not
>possible to send an attachment through the list. Everybody who is
>interested in our project can just email me and I will be happy to send
>you all the details of our project to your personal email.
>
>All the best from Berlin & we hope to see you soon,
