Re: [Cz-L]It’s all gone, it’s still there

This is from Marla Raucher Osborn report:
"I relate this story because there is truth in the farmer’s statement: in
many of our ancestral cities, especially in the smaller towns and villages,
there are people who have been waiting for “us” – the descendants of the
Jewish families that once lived there – to return. They are waiting for us
and they are looking to us to make decisions, to answer questions, to give
guidance, to get involved, to assume an active (maybe even primary) role in
the preservation and maintenance of our Jewish heritage, what little
remains."

   So the blame is on us. They have kept the vandalized stones in barns for
the descendants to decide.
       And give guidance.
        But many of the descendentss are dead ,murdered in the Ghetto
massacre .
  They cannot come to claim the stones and make decisions !
     No matter how long they wait !

Subject: Aw: [Cz-L] Rohatyn cemetery today.

An amazing photo story by Marla Raucher Osborn about the cemeteries and
headstones of Rohatyn is here:
http://www.pbase.com/nuthatch/ua_2011_rohatyn_t
The cemeteries were destroyed during the German occupation and the stones
abused as construction material. Now the headstones appear again everywhere
in town.
