Re: [Cz-L] Jewish Museum of Czernowitz

Dear Ilana,
 Your question if the footage of Soviet occupation of Cz. in 1940 will help.
  Help in what ? Exposing in the Jewish Museum ?
   This is general history . It is an interesting event anyway.
    But it deals with the excluded time period and is not specific jewish
   The attitude of the Cz. Museum towards the Holocaust is a riddle.
        Even the delegation who visited the Museum before the opening
    did not clarify this issue : not as to the motivation for the decision
nor
    as to concessions on the point ( they did not move an inch).
