RE: [Cz-L] Poetry on the Herrengasse

To add to Mimi's comments...the other national houses were not
re-established...but the Jewish House now has the Jewish Museum on the
ground floor and Jewish offices on the top floor. So we are ahead !
Also..there are churches being reinstated. This is after the demise of the
Soviet regime and is being done by their large re-emerging believers.The
German church is being helped by large amounts coming from communities in
Canada and USA founded by Germans who left Czernowitz due to the
Hitler-Stalin pact of 1940 and emigrated...just like the Jews! And the
equivalent is the rebuilding of the Kornshul going on at present using
Lubavich money and the restoration of the Wunderrebbe's Palace(the Friedman
Dynasty) in Sadagura also with money from current US followers....

I would like to add to Cornel's list of facts which show that
Czernowitz/Chernivtsi is not currently an Anti-Semitic city.
SVIT Ukraine (certainly not a Jewish organization) has sent volunteers to
work on clearing the Jewish cemetery, every year for the last three years.
Each year a local Ukrainian young woman has joined the volunteers and worked
with them. Only one Jewish young man, one year joined the volunteers and his
non Jewish friend joined with him. Except for two members of this list, no
Jewish person, ever took part in these work-camps, not from abroad and not
from the local population.

The number of people living currently in Czernowitz is about 200 000.
The number of Jews living currently in Czernowitz is about 1500.
Yet one of the council members is Jewish, he obviously was not voted in just
by the Jews.

As far as returning buildings which once were Jewish community buildings, to
the current Jewish community: The German house was not returned to the
Germans, the Polish house was not returned to the Polish community, the
Romanian house - to the Romanian house - to the Romanian community. So it is
not, that we were singled out.

Had it been up to me, I certainly would have preferred to call, what was
once the Judengasse, Shalom Aleichem street, to Jews' street.
