Dear Christian,
Bon voyage again on Ukrainian roads among Unkrainians who definitely enjoy the new and hard-won freedom of travel, visa-free within the EU! Drive safe, enjoy the meetings with old and new friends and give Marla and Jay a hug. Virtually, but anyway, we'll stay by your side.
By the way, from Stryi came Julian Stryjkowski (Julian Stark), who was one of the more interesting as well as one of the more controversial of Polish 20th-century novelists. The Independent wrote in 1996: "His first novel "Voices in the Darkness (written in 1943-46 in Moscow and published in 1956) depicts the tragic frustration experienced by an orthodox believer faced with modern cultural and social changes which he cannot accept but to which his close family and fellow villagers succumb. [...] As portraits of Jewish life in Poland, Stryjkowski's works stand comparison with those of both Bruno Schulz and of Isaac Bashevis Singer, but what makes him unique is the combination of a first-hand knowledge of shtetl life with a personal involvement with Communism."
Warmest wishes and please keep us updated!
Edgar Hauster

Subject: On Galician Roads again
Dear all,
A new Jewish heritage trip in Galicia has begun. It was a long day for my friends Marla, Jay, Vasyl, my cousin Nana and me when we went from Lviv to Ivano-Frankivsk. In between were the towns of Zhydachiv, Stryi, Bolekhiv, Dolyna and Kalush with its synagogues and Jewish cemeteries. Some of them are beautifully preserved, others are fully gone.

Tomorrow we will arrive in Czernowitz to meet the volunteers who will work in the Jewish cemetery.
Warm wishes from Ivano-Frankivsk,
Christian
