Re: [Cz-L] Jewish museum in Czernowitz

The answer to Hardy's question whether the Jewish museum in Czernowitz
has altered its policy about presenting Holocaust related material,
is that
I do not know exactly what their policy was before and what it is now.
They previously said that they did not have enough room to display
Holocaust
related material and now apparently they have been granted more space
and I suppose, as promised, they will have a section about the
Holocaust.

I think that it is important, that we make available to the museum,
high quality
copies of any pertinent documents, photographs and letters and that
we do so
as soon as possible, so this material may be used for educational
purposes.

Again, the Email address of the museum is: <jm.chernivtsi_at_gmail.com>
and their postal address is: Teatralna Square 5/1, 58002 Chernivtsi,
Ukraine.
