RE: [Cz-L] Chernivtsi Museum of Bukovinian Jewish History and Culture

Hardy...

There is no reasonable doubt about, that the Museum could and perhaps should be more emphatic about Antisemitism, Holocaust, Ghetto, Transnistria, Exodus, Diaspora. Being myself focused on Holocaust researches, there is no difference at all between our positions. On the aother hand, please have a closer look and check these pages:

Permanent Exhibition - Display boards: http://www.muzejew.nxt.ru/Planshet-En.html

2 display boards (11, 12) out of 12 are dedicated to the Holocaust. 11 is under construction, 12 is yet exhibited.

Permanent Exhibition - Museums's collection: http://www.muzejew.nxt.ru/Muzfond-En.html

5 documents (at the bottom) out of 12 are dedicated to the Holocaust.

In addition to the Permanent Exhibition, the Museum is scheduling Temporary Exhibitions (http://www.muzejew.nxt.ru/Vystavka-En.html) - among others - covering:

The "Temple" - from a synagogue to a "cinemagogue".
Sausage with swastika.
"They don't like us? We don't like them either!"
"Whoever saves one life, saves the whole world".

Again, that's perhaps not enough, not for you, not for me either, but the museum management did include the Holocaust related subjects. My complaint is another one: As Fred, I got the feeling as well, that they would like to maintain a certain sense of harmony. They wouldn't like to offend potential visitors and/or sponsors, even not those, coming from Romania and Germany. But we know, that telling the strict truth, doesn't necessarily produce deep harmony.

On the other hand, the virtual gallery is perfectly designed, the photo and video elements work excellent and it's a pleasure to "walk" through. So, I'm personally happy with this Museum, the people working there are doing a great job, but - as you and Fred - I realize that there is still room for improvement.
