RE: [Cz-L] Jewish Museum of Czernowitz

Hi all....when we were in Czernowitz to help with the establishment of the
museum they really seemed not to have photographs etc of the Holocaust
period to use as effective exhibits. If somebody has the time to put
together a good selection of the Pragher pictures it could be sent to
Natalya Shevchenko for inclusion. Cornel

Many of you remember the big battle of including the Holocaust
 in the Museum display .
   The end of it was a compromise allowing one or two panels on
      the subject displayed.
  Actually, nothing was displayed. We lost on this issue.
  One of the reasons for this was lack of photographic evidence available.
    A museum must show pictures - text panels alone will not do.
   Now , due to coincidence , we discovered the Willy Pragher collection.
   Pictures of jews doing forced labor on the streets of Czernowitz in July
     1941.
    They are today in the archives of the town of Freiburg, Germany.
      If these pictures should be exposed anywhere - Czernowitz is the
        place.
     They tell the story of the jewish fate in Czernowitz .
       A wall should be dedicated to this in the Museum.
           Therefore it carries the name: Museum of the Jews of Bucovina,
                Hardy
