Re: [Cz-L] CEMETERY CLEARANCE

Wir, richtige alte Czernowitzer denken alle in der selben Weise.
As soon as I saw the map Hardy sent us, I thought that this might be
the same map I was shown by the "surveyor" in Chernivtsi. The map
I was shown, was a printed one and in color. On it, the area cleared
last year by the vlunteers, looked considerably beter than other areas.
It may be the exact same map as found on Google or a new version of it.
In the winter the snow weighs down on the branches of the trees
and bushes and this makes the paths look better on a satellite picture,
than in reality. I hope to have my new pictures of the cemetery
developed soon as well as digital photographs from Sasha, which
I will then send to the list.

I too calculated the area of the cemetery from a Google map,
I downloaded and came to the conclusion that the size of the cemetery
is close to 14 hektares, possibly only 13 hektares. It is dificult
to guess where exactly the borders at the northern and southern ends are.

Thanks to all of you, for thinking, searching and calculating and writing.
Any chance of any of you going to Czernowitz this summer?
