Re: [Cz-L] Chernivtsi Museum of Bukovinian Jewish_History and Culture

My, my, my

Why does it not surprise that the absence in the Museum exibits of the plight of
the Czernowitzer Jews period 1941- 45.
The culture of denial is all to prevalent without reminders not just in
Czernowitz but these days also
in many countries. Hardy is right as usual. However I find the " Do not rock the
Boat" attitude in amongst the Czernowitzer themselves disquieting. Only few dare
to contradict this attitude by suggesting that the idea and the creation of the
Museum is most praiseworthy but to deny or mask the period of pogrom, murder,
deportation to the death-camp of Transnistria 1941 - 45 reduces the value of the
Museum. I am inclined to believe it is not the curator of the Museum but the
instructions of the authority to cleanse and or distance themselves of any
implications in that period. What hypocrisy. There must be some mass graves in
around Czernowitz any knowledge??. I do not suppose so. Any memorial plaques I
don't think so. I do remember that hundreds of Jewish men  were forced to build
a bridge/pontoon over the Prut and quite a lot were shot and even in the initial
period of occupation when the Temple was set on fire many hundred were shot. 

The Czernowitzer who perished in the hell of Transnistria why should they be
denied in the Museum.
It is curiouser, curiouser.

Wonderful public relation campaign.
  In the museum : Not one word about Transnistria mass graves.
