Hardy,

What I called the "existing pamphlet" is actually a glossy sheet of paper,
about 30cm x 50cm, with maps of the two cemeteries and lists and
explanations on both sides.

I will talk to Julia Myasyshcheva about the idea of pamphlets, rather than a
large information board, but possibly pamphlets which are free to be taken,
may end up scattered to the wind.

The languages of either the information board or the pamphlets, should in my
opinion be:
Ukrainian as the local language.
Hebrew, as the language of the Jewish people.
English, as the currently most widely used "international" language.
Possibly German, because aside from Jewish tourists, German or Austrian
tourists, are the ones most likely to visit the cemetery.

I did not mean that members of the list should check the cemetery map for
accuracy. I meant that they should verify the text about the Jewish cemetery
and the list of monuments which goes along with it.

I will scan it again and send it to anyone who wants it.

Mimi
