Re: [Cz-L] Regarding Museum Debate

The Museum , officially ,does not belong to the city or state but is a
private initiative of Mr. Josef Zissels ,the Jewish community president of
Ukraina.
  Had they hinted that their decisions were imposed by the authorities ,
 we would have understood.
  This would not be the first time to obey.
   But they justified the decision on their independent judgement
  and we , as subjects ,asked for an explanation.
    Maybe we were naive.
    By th way there is now a booklet on the web , the virtual Museum of
Czernowitz,
    sponsored by Mr. Zissel and on the cover it says : Jewish Museum of
Bukovina , from the end of the 18 century until 1940.
 It appears in Russian and now it is also been translated into Ukrainean and
promised
  to appear in more languages.

Subject: [Cz-L] Regarding Museum Debate

I mentioned to one of the current participants in this debate the
following:\

One must not forget the period 1940-1945 of Czernowitz where there is
nothing the authorities would like to substantiate by admiting any
participation in the demise of Czernowitzer Jews.
Be they German, Roumanian or Ukrainian you can not have items in the Museum
exposing the truth thus casting blame. I do not think that they are going to
be flexible by seing your point of view also the current population are
newcomers who have no knowledge or information or interest of reviving an
gruesome period.Again i doubt that there are many true Czernowitzer left to
lend substance.Again the Jewish Community if there is one must be sort of on
a shelf with no say so it remains with the current authorithy to decide what
is in their interest to be seen or not. What you have are pitifull relics of
the past whilst a vibrant Jewish people that gave so much life and standing
to a place called Czernowitz have been cast into oblivion.
Thanks to a person like Mimi who witht tenacity put in an enormous effort in
convincing the current authorithy
in proceeding in some of her projects most admirable, but the authorities
are not sentimental in fact show as you see resistance. Are refurbishing the
city and some areas only to cash in from the decendants or general tourist.
Acolade for effort Fred.Weisinger
