Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery in the Early Nineties

I personally tend to believe people from the documentary posted by Edgar who
testified that many people preferred to walk on the road in order not to
step on the grave stones that were used to pave the Krasnoarmeiskaya Street
after the WWII. Apparently, the stones are still there, only now they are
covered by the asphalt.
Those were the days when a city with more that 60000 Jewish population had
only one tiny synagoge and most of the Cz churches were turned into
warehouses.
Actually, we shouldn't be surprised. The dead have no voice and no
authority. And I don't think they really care what's happening with their
graves. It's us, who are still here, we care....

Whoever visited one of the many shtetels of the Eastern Europe that was
emptied of the Jews, will always have a feeling that they are visiting a
deserted cemetery. People who used to leave there always report an
unfamiliar stillness and a lack of energy, same as we felt in Chenivtsi when
my classmates came to visit in 2006.
