[Cz-L]Book Launch: Like Shells on a Shore - Synagogues and Jewish Cemeteries of Northern Moldavia

Czernowitzers...

Please let me direct your attention to a new book launch. Simon Geissbühler (http://www.simongeissbuhler.ch/), the young Swiss diplomat, historian and author of

- Jewish Cemeteries of BucovinaJewish Cemeteries of Bucovina (http://jewish-heritage-travel.blogspot.com/2009/06/romaniaukraine-bucovina-cemeteries.html)

- Spuren, die vergehen/Vanishing Traces (http://ehpes.com/blog1/2010/08/17/spuren-die-vergehen-vanishing-traces/)

has once again released a new, accurately illustrated book:

- Like Shells on a Shore - Synagogues and Jewish Cemeteries of Northern Moldavia

Have a look on the front resp. back cover of the book on Ehpes.com Blog (http://ehpes.com/blog1/2010/10/27/like-shells-on-a-shore/) and note Simon's statement:

"Not everything is lost yet. There are still wonderful, magical places like the Jewish cemeteries in Botosani, Vadul-Rashkov and Orhei, the Great Synagogue in Iasi or the ruins of the magnificent synagogue in Rashkov. They are like shells on a shore when the sea of living memory has receded. But the clock is ticking away. The last traces of Jewish Northern Moldavia that was wiped out in the Holocaust are vanishing rapidly."

In addition Simon has created a innovative new website, http://www.projekt36.ch/index.php, where German and/or Romanian readers will be able to read interesting Occasional Papers, such as for example

The Lost Synagogues of Bucharest. From Jewish Neighbourhoods to City Spaces void of Memory
http://www.projekt36.ch/op/Synagogen_kurz_4.pdf

Enjoy the reading!
