RE: [Cz-L] The World Organization of the Bukovina Jews

Czernowitzers...

Seems to me that some years ago 'we' (and I can't remember who else was
involved -- Mimi, Cornel?), tried to hook up with the Die Stimme gang.

At that time they had a bit of a website that was in many languages.
Some of the articles were in English, some in German, Romanian, etc.,
and no single article was in more than one language.

Maybe that's very Bukovinian, but it ends up to be a tower of babble
for, dare I say, most of us. Indeed, for an outsider like myself, this
made 90 percent of their material inaccessible.

I tried several more times to make contact with those folks, but finally
gave up as my enquiries ended up not being answered. I was left with the
feeling that they were not interested in us.

Things change. I'm sure that there might be many useful outcomes for
us in a relationship with the WOBJ group. Ehpes however, does its
business in English, and Die Stimme, as near as I can tell, does its
business in Deutsch (the Hebrew site notwithstanding).

Carrying on a potential relationship in German as Cornell suggests is
simply not going to be productive on this end unless someone is prepared
translates both ways for us. This could be a huge commitment if we're
talking about content in Die Stimme.

It would be interesting to better understand the goals of WOBJ, their
numbers and makeup, their history, and what their expectations might be
in a relationship with us. Arthur?

Best,
jerome
