Re: [Cz-L] Pictures from Czernowitz visit September 14-15, 2012

Thank you Gershon for the photographs.
The story behind "the cut star of David" is this:
When the building was built the handrail along the stairs was set
with metal stars of David.
Came the Soviets, confiscated the building and cut off one corner of
each star of David,
making them into regular five pointed stars.

Now some or all the stars have been restored to their old Jewish
significance.
