Re: [Cz-L] Jewish Museum of Czernowitz

Having been in the Jewish museum in Czernowitz/Chernivtsi just less than two
month ago, I can tell you definitely that there is one wall set aside for
exhibits about the Holocaust. Our letters to Josif Zissels, who donated the
funds for the museum and to Natalya Shevchenko, who is the director of the
museum, did accomplish this much. If anyone wants to write to either Natalya
or to Josif, I will send you their Email addresses. I am willing to write to
both of them, myself, and ask whether they are interested in the material
available from the Willy Pragher collection.

My own opinion about the material exhibited at the museum, is that there
could be less material about Chassidism and more about the holocaust, this
would solve the space problem.
