Re: [Cz-L] Summary of Bukovina Reunion Group meeting at IAJGS Conference last week

Hi Hedwig,

It's a real recognition for all your intellectual and artistic
contributions that you are invited to Berlin and elsewhere to present your
works. Congratulations to you!!!

To send photos to ehpes, once you have them scanned by your "technical
adviser", you can then send the images as attachments to your email to
Jerome Schatten. He'll be glad to post them on Ehpes and then you (Or
Jerome) can alert readers of the List to what you've posted and where they
can find them.

Warmest wishes, Shabbat Shalom,

Bruce
