Re: [Cz-L] Jewish past.

Is there any one specific date of an event, perhaps liberation from Transitria which could be used to honor the survivors and memorialize those who died in the Shoah from Czernowitz. If we could find a specific date, perhaps an annual group gathering there could be initiated. An idea from the second generation

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.

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.

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.

Not only to the close family members but to a more broad population of Israeli teenagers.
