Re: [Cz-L] Jewish past.

I want to continue Hardy's remarks, which ended with the :" minds..." .
There is not question mark (?) at the end of his words, but there should be.
Since only if the live remains from then year Czernowitz, will work on the
minds of the 2nd and 3rd generations this unique place will not disappear.
I can only speak for myself.
I belong to those who were born after the 2nd WW (1952), not in Czernowitz,
to Czernowitz born parents (mother). She and the family were reluctant to
discuss and tell, I was not enough aware to press for the stories. Only last
year more than 29 years after my mother past away, when almost no live
remain of the original family members are still an available info source, I
stated to learn and read more about Czernowitz, Bukovina the family etc.
Also making a visit with all my family there.
The education system in Israel (I'm not familiar how the Shoah is thought in
other countries, if at all) mainly uses the Shoah as a lesson learned.
Mainly as worming sign for us the Israelis, what can happen if we cannot
protect ourselves, and have a true and open heart safe haven to all the
world Jews.
The profound anti-Semitic roots, the relation with neighbors are described
only superficial.
Only recently the habit to read the names of Shoah victims in the Shoah
memorial day, become a ritual.
The most important meeting and making Shoah not virtual but real, for the
Israeli teenagers is the MITZAD AHAIM. Every year during few month (the peak
is on Yom Ha' Shoah) thousands of 16-17 years old teenagers are going to
Poland for a week visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, Maidanek, Warsaw having
preliminary deep study and meeting survivors. I remember how my daughter
came impressed from the trip she made with her school there 18 years ago.
Coming back to Czernowitz, and To Hardy's open question on minds
(remembrance, zichronot).
Only if we can convince some of the schools, to divert their rout from
Poland to Ukraine/Romania and go to places like Czernowitz, Kiev other sites
were the Nazi and their collaborators murdered and practically cleaned
Galitzia, Bessarabia and Bukovina from their hundred of thousands of Jews,
the minds and memories of you the there born generation will have a true
follow-up. Not only to the close family members but to a more broad
population of Israeli teenagers.

Where is the jewish past of Czernowitz ?
  On the Zwinter , on the Zwinter.
   In Transnistria in the fields.
    On memorial plates on the streets.
     In museums and in books,
     In archives in registers,

         But most of all in your minds....
