RE: [Cz-L]Rescheduled lecture at USHMM in Washington,Tuesday June 21

Dear Czernowitzers
This lecture has been moved to the Meyerhof's Hall.
I mentioned that some people couldn't register and have been asked by the coordinator to notify you that since this room is bigger and can hold 400 people, just come and you will be admitted. (there is a possibility that you can still register, but it's not necessary)
Hope to see everybody who is interested

Channa
