Edgar,
 I speak of the virtual museum on the web.
 There is no problem of space .
    These subjects are not mentioned.
      Every of the items I mentioned is worthy of a department.
      I until now cannot explain the motivation of the organizers.
       There must something we dont know.

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.
