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

"Capri hat eine blaue Grotte und Czernowitz eine graue Blotte"
(Capri has a blue grotto and Czernowitz - grey mud)
I never heard this saying before, but how funny and deprecating it is!
How very much Czernowitz!

I am sorry to say, that so far I do not see, how I could possibly
influence
the kind of memorial which will be put up when this temporary one is
removed.
