Re: [Cz-L]Bucovina&Transnistria Exhibition in Bucharest Metro

It is good to know that while the INSTITUTUL CULTURAL ROMAN, BUCURESTI
publishes books in which the Jewish presence in Czernowitz/Cernauti/
Chernivtsi,
is not quite acknowledged, the Romanian authorities allow an exhibit
about
the Romanian Holocaust in Transnistria and the Jewish Bucovina to
take place
in a location in which it will be seen by thousands.

In my experience, visiting Romania many times and also, in
encountering Romanians
in the US, I have rarely met with open anti-Semitism, but I have
found young people,
quite ignorant of the treatment the Romanian government meted out to
its Jewish citizens,
in the provinces of Bucovina, Moldavia, Besarabia and Transnistria.
Even Romanians, now in their seventies are likely to claim that the
Romanian government
treated its Jews more humanely than did other countries.

This may be true for some Romanian provinces, but certainly not for
the Bucovina.

Thanks to Emil and Shani,

Mimi
