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

Talking about mass graves around Czernowitz. There are two which I
personally visited: The mass grave of the Boyan Jews in the Novoselitsa
graveyard, and the mass grave of 839 Novoselitsa Jews which is located in a
field between Novoselitsa and Stroyinitz. As far as I could find out there
was not one settlement in northern Bucovina where Jews were not massacred by
soldiers and local collaborators on the first days of the Romanian-German
reoccupation. All that before the deportation started.

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.
