Yes Christian,
Everybody needs a tombstone for
memory, with a good picture preferably.
Mozart doesn’t have a grave or stone,
Moses neither.
Cheops has a big pyramid.
500 feet high..
Who the heck was Keops - what was his name ?

Dear all,
There are some things left to report after my return. One of them are the
portraits on gravestones in the Czernowitz Jewish cemetery. They are often
ignored but they are interesting. Portraits of the deceased on gravestones
do actually not exist in Jewish tradition. It is a custom that is common in
Christian cemeteries in many European countries and was adopted since the
interwar period. The Jewish cemetery of Czernowitz is particularly rich in
such portraits. We see bon vivants, glamorous ladies and serious
grandmothers. Even after decades these people look at us.

Best wishes,
Christian
