I do agree with you Cornel. Mordecai, if you can do this,
the experience will surely be very rewarding for all
of you - even though Czernowitz has undergone changes,
there is much that still exists from the days when you lived
there and certainly enough to give your children a broad
picture of your life there. Also, there is something very
special about sharing these things with one's children.
Since my own trip, I have written an account of it
for my children. However, prior
to this I had produced a 150-page family book on
my Kastner- Ostfeld family from Bukovina for them.
But nothing equals a personal visit.
So I encourage you to follow Cornel's recommendation
and go with your family.
Merle
