RE: [Cz-L]Czernowitz Jewish museum looks for donations to safe a unique archive

It would be most useful to us who are interested in this archive
of documents to know exactly what kind of documents are included in it.
If you have a complete list of the documents included, please send it
to us.

I have assorted documents pertaining to my family, copies of which I
would gladly give to the museum. I do not know whether my documents are
more or less numerous or more or less interesting.
By May 10th at the latest, I shall be able to send you a list of documents.

Best regards,

Mimi
