Re: [Cz-L] Jewish Museum of Czernowitz

Hardy et al,

I was at the National Holocaust Museum yesterday doing an interview for my
film and met the Director of the Photo archives. I saw many pictures from
1940-1944 including video footage of the Soviets marching into Czernowitz in
1940. Should I pursue this. I met the Director of the Museum when I was
there in April and have given her many of my own photos so she knows who I
am.

Let me know and I'll get on it if you think this will help.
