Re: [Cz-L] Please be patient with me

Tourists come to have a good time.
  Old Czernowitz is famous in western German speaking Europe.
  They come , visit , take pictures and drink beer.
    They will not write about Jewish heritage.
     Or the neglected cemetery.
        To anyone. It is not polite to do so.
     It is for the authorities to take note of the trend.
      The cemetery , even in its current condition , seems
       a very big tourist attraction .
