In July of this year, I sent you all, a copy of a letter I had received from
the Jewish museum in Czernowitz. I am copying this letter again here:
>
> The Museum of the History and Culture of Bukovinian Jews has recently
> started to realize a project with the title "Holocaust to the History
> lesson" which aims the creation of educational material about the Holocaust
> in the region around Chernivtsi. This material is going to be offered to
> all history teachers from this region, which can be the starting point for
> students to understand Holocaust not only as phenomen of the foreign
> history (as which it was treated before) but as part of their own history,
> the history of their town.
> For this reason we are right now looking for any kind of material about

Last month, in late October 2013, I spent a week in Czernowitz.
Among other things, I spoke with the curator of the Jewish museum,
Mykola Kushnir. It seems that the museum has been given more space
in what once was the Jewish "Cultus-Gemeinde" and there is a plan to add
to the museum a section about the Holocaust.

It will take some time to organize and establish this section, but while it
is being prepared, the museum staff is working on another related project,
As described below, in a copy of part of a letter I received more recently.

I was asked to let you know that the museum is looking for documents,
letters and photographs testifying to the regulations, laws and actions
taken by the Romanian government, army, local authorities and civilians,
which constituted the Holocaust in Czernowitz.

You do not have to send the museum your original documents and or
photographs, but please make sure that you scan the originals carefully,
And send the museum clear and sharp images.

The museum has copies of three documents, which I sent them some years ago,
also a copy of a document for Jacob Hersch Rauchwerger, (alluded to above),
sent by someone else.
Would the person who sent them the "Jacob Hersch Rauchwerger" document,
Please also send them an improved copy?
