Re: [Cz-L] josef burg

Thank you Eytan for the information. The obituary for Josef Burg is OK
except for the fact that the author, again and again refers to Czernowitz
as Chernovitsi.
In no language and at no time did the city have this name.
I would have expected better from the NY Times.
Das ist eine Gemeinheit!
