Re: [Cz-L] Bucharest exhibition is up again. - Jpost reports.

Our press release:

Public photo exhibit on Jewish heritage and the Holocaust in Romania stolen
from Bucharest Subway Station.

A public exhibition focusing on Romania=92s Jewish Heritage and the Holocau=
st
in Transnistria vanished from a Bucharest subway station just one day after
its opening. The creators of the exhibit, Israeli photographer Shani Bar On
and journalist Emil Rennert, were quite surprised when they discovered that
the exhibition had been stolen from Bucharest=92s most busy subway station.

While the investigation is still ongoing, it looks like the mysterious
disappearance of the exhibition was the work of antisemitic vandals who
tried to hide information on Romania=92s involvement in the Holocaust.

Despite the mysteriously vanished exhibit the creators decided to rebuild
the whole exhibition. The sponsors of the exhibition and the subway
management company were shocked by the incident, and the latter promised to
provide better security for the exhibit.

The exhibition, which was sponsored by the Austrian Cultural Forum, is
scheduled to be on display until the 30th of June and can be visited at
Bucharest's Piata Unirii subway station. While the photographs focus on
remnants of Jewish life today, the texts of the exhibition provide general
information on the Romanian Holocaust and tell personal stories of survivor=
s
of the camps in Transnistria. The exhibit is based on the recently publishe=
d
photo/text book "The Jewish Bucovina - Clues" by Shani Bar On and Emil
Rennert. Before coming to the Bucharest Metro, the exhibit was shown at the
University of Vienna and other locations in Romania and Austria. The
creators try to reach out to the Romanian public and hope to further young
Romanians=92 interest and knowledge of this dark part of Romanian history.

The current public display on a walkway above the subway platforms exposes =
a
great number of passengers to information on the Holocaust in Romania. All
text panels are in Romanian and English.
