Re: [Cz-L] Memorial to the Czernowitz Ghetto

I would not describe myself as an optimist, but neither would I
describe myself as a pessimist.
Both ways of thinking make no sense to me. All people are not evil,
nor are all people good.
I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt and do my share.

I have received more photographs of the ceremony, those who would
like me to send them to you,
please write me and I will forward them to you.
