[Cz-L] RE: czernowitz-l digest: October 05, 2010

Re: Fred Weisinger's comments on the Chernivtsis erasing the Jewish history of Cz. This is not anti-Semitism per se but a sad yet natural occurrence among living species from animals peeing on trees and fire hydrants to establish THEIR domain to the rewriting of history over and over again by new generations of historians.

Don't you remember that we discovered when we struggled to get approval for the Popovici plaque that the town fathers had made great efforts to wipe out from history the two decades of Romanian rule. Some of their kids in schools were not at all aware of the previous Romanian presence. For historical survival, a people need to leave behind outrageous acts which always make interesting reading and thus survive the constant evolution and fictionalization of history. Had our forefathers produced a Vlad Tepes Dracula and impaled a few enemies down the street from the Synagogue, or if among our grandfathers there had been a Genghis Kahn then the present generation in Chernivtsi would have paid more attention.
