It seems that I put the cart before the horses.
I today phoned Dr. Bursuk and asked him about the memorial,
which is to be erected to the victims of the Czernowitz Ghetto.
Unfortunately I am now not much wiser;
The memorial will definitely be placed at the Turkish square.
It is intended that it will mention the ghetto itself and the fact
that the ghetto served to gather the Jews of Czernowitz in one place
so that they could easily be deported to Transnistria.
I do not know the size of the memorial, or the inscription.
I do not know what the inscription is allowed to say, nor in what languages.
I do not know on who's initiative this memorial is planned.
Apparently there is as yet no full financing for the memorial.
Also apparently our involvement in deciding on the inscription is desired.
I most probably will go to Chernivtsi in August.
Hopefully, I will then be able to find out all the facts.
Sorry to have rushed into things without sufficient knowledge.
Mimi
