[Cz-L] New Opening: Czernowitz Book Corner

Dear friends,

Please join me for the new opening of the Czernowitz Book Corner and enjoy the outstanding introductory exhibit "JUBILEE EDITION DEDICATED TO THE 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE TEMPLE" [Editia festiva inchinata jubileului de 60 de ani dela inaugurarea Templului], Chanukah 5698 / November 28, 1937 at:

http://czernowitzbook.blogspot.de/

- Have you ever seen "Interior Views of the Temple" before its devastation in 1941?
- Do you recognize the members of the "Jewish Community Council in 1877" and/or in 1937?
- Do you want to learn more "About the Origins of the Community Temple"?
- Do you identify your ancestors among "The Names of the Hundred who Built the House of God"?
- Do you know all "The Cantors Since the Foundation of the Temple"?
- Do you know all "The Rabbis of the Jewish Community of Czernowitz"?
- Are you interested in "The Temple and its Visitors"?
- Do you feel the mood and cherish "The Soul of our Temple"?

Visit the Czernowitz Book Corner, download the original PDF copy or its Romanian/German transcription of this thoroughly illustrated book and admire its uniqueness! This book appears both on the "Tentative List of Jewish Cultural Treasures in Axis-Occupied Countries, 1946" by the Commission on European Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, and on our "EHPES Czernowitz / Bukovina Reading List" as well, but there is only one evidenced copy which survived, brought to all of you by courtesy of the National Library of Israel.

I strongly believe this book is not less significant for the Jews from Bukovina than Hugo Gold's "History of the Jews in Bukovina" and - somehow, sometime - we do have to find an opportunity to get it translated into English. However, in a first step, we transcribed it in order to make it processable by GoogleTranslate, but this isn't much more than a temporary compromise. Therefore,

- for all those, who read Romanian/German: Read, read, read!
- for all those, who don't read Romanian/German: Download the transcription and use GoogleTranslate!
- for all those, who read Romanian/German/English: Please donate your translation to all of us!

I'm checking out now for departure - as always by motorcycle - to Poland, Ukraine and Romania, but I'm encouraging you to bookmark the website for the Czernowitz Book Corner, since more Czernowitz / Bukovina related books will follow soon!
