Subject: Re: [Cz-L] Museum
The idea of converting the burial hall into a museum of the Holocaust,
originates with Joseph Zissels, who is the person upon who's initiative and
with who's money the Jewish museum In the city was also created.
I think that he decided to locate a Holocaust museum in the Leichenhalle
Because it seemed the most expedient thing to do.
The building is large, no one wants it for any other purpose and as it
stands Right now, it is just a ruin.
Zissels is a very adamant and stubborn person, he knows how to negotiate
With state and local authorities and he is able and willing to spend his own
money On various Jewish projects.
the building which once was the "Jewish house" and in which the Jewish
museum is located, Also houses the offices of various local entities and is
not considered Jewish property.
It is unlikely that the city would agree to allocate space in this building
for a holocaust museum.
Other buildings, in what was the mostly Jewish part of the city, are more
likely to be considered.
Anyhow, I think that those of us, who are not satisfied with the idea of
placing a Holocaust Museum in the former burial hall, should write to Joseph
Zissels and tell him our reasons.
I have his Email address, or at least, the Email of his secretary and will
gladly send it To anyone on the Cz.- List who wants to write him.
You may also write to him care of the Jewish museum.
