Re: [Cz-L] Jewish Czernowitz Video

 Yes, this video appears at the Gruss and was done by VVV Productions
whoever this may be.
   They took pictures from many sources and give credit to all.
   The song is Russian ,the singer is known ,probably Jewish - the subject
related ,I imagine.
   The choice of the pictures is by area ,aerial photos define the area
covered.
   Yes the takes are too short.
    But remember that this was the Judenstadt. In this dirty, neglected
shtettl Jewish
    life had its beginning. Originally jewish.
      Not liking it is as not liking jewish tradition.
     The Jews as they grew more prosperous moved to better living quarters.
     The Bessere Menschen.
      But all began in the gesslach around the Ham.
      I like it a lot.
