Dear Friends,
I just had a wonderful Skype conversation with Baruch Eylon. He is
leading the committee described in his email below. To those of you
planning a visit to any area within Bukovina or Transnistria, please
contact Baruch and I hope you will volunteer a few minutes of your time to
help out the Jewish Heritage Committee - it’s for the benefit of ALL of
US. Let me underscore a few words from his email:
"YOU can help a lot, as you like and whenever you like, for example by
taking
surveys while visiting the heritage area or by bringing this information to
the attention of people that are planning to visit there. All one needs
technically is a phone with GPS and camera. Volunteers for surveying -
please contact us at Bukovina.Heritage.Volunteers_at_gmail.com”.
Thank you,
Bruce
