[Cz-L] Transnistria Memorial Day

Dear all,
I was in Czernowitz and I met Mimi, Sacha and Christian with a great joy.
But after, I travel until Mogilev then Chortkiv ,then Lviv on rocky
roads and I felt so tired after these days !!
Even my friends Renaud and Vincent, the french et young journalists
were very tired by such a trip : we call it a "new Paris-Dakar" as the
famous french car race in Africa.
It's a great idea to do this.
The Jewish community of Mogilev will perhaps more open with it . I met
them two days ago as I look for my grandmother's grave without success
.
I made many suggestions :
- a database with a website "MP cemetery"
- a booklet about the story and the facts of this cemetery
- students for records all the graves....
Mr Leonid Brechmann and the Jewish Community said only "No, No, No".

In Boston Conference , we will meet many people to the Mogilev
Podolsky BOF with Phyllis Berenson, the leader of this group.

All the best
Sylvie
