תשובה: [Cz-L] now!!

Jewish imported Hassidim dancing in front of the Shewchenko memorial
dressed up in black is not a very clever move.
  We never had this in my times.
  We had great funerals but no dancing.
The locals look at this and say : So these are the Jews of old Cz ?
And shake their heads.

נושא: RE: [Cz-L] now!!

Dear Channa....I hear what you say...and I think I understand your feelings
too..but there is still a big"BUT"! I left Czernowitz in 1944....and came
back for the first time during the Soviet era,with a friend,both of us as
"Australian tourists". There were then still elderly German-speaking Jews
(and a couple of them told me"Aber wir sind Oesterreicher!!). Both of us
talked to people,and there were moments when we felt they were looking over
their shoulders while so doing.My friend happened to speak Russian,I spoke
German, we met some local girls and were taken to places like Valya Kozmy
etc...they were asking questions and so were we.Hopefully it was educational
for both parties!! Then..I returned in post-Soviet times,and the difference
was utterly amazing.People talked,some had been to the West and Israel and
come back,they wore Magen David neckchains, they were emphatically NOT
looking over their shoulders!!!! And I do not care ,nor did I ask,who
supports the Jewish school. For me the fact that a very successful Jewish
school exists..and I saw what they teach..is of far greater importance.When
the 2nd Shul was opened there were Jews with a Torah dancing in the
street....and surprise,no KGB or NKVD or similar showed up. Yes,you are
right,there are still anti-Semites...but to say "the situation is not
improving" is simply not true. Best, Cornel
