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

The Tel Aviv Bukovina site is ,as so many similar , a documentary
collection of the history of our people.
 It has all the necessary chapters to highlight all possible angles.
   Naturally it is in Hebrew and therefore meaningless to many .

   The Ehpes group is a much more modest project.
     Most of all we help people find relatives.
    Its concentrates on the visual - we have a collection of photos and maps
      we can be proud of.
      But what makes the Ehpes so singular is the group mail :
     Our site is interactive , we speak to each other ,we agree and
disagree,
      we fight and celebrate.
        For this we need a language - as originating in the US it is
English.
       The quality of the English is of secondary importance.
         As long as we understand each other.
            And we do.
