Dear Edgar
Thank you for posting this. It is quite reassuring. For those of us living
in Great Britain, where it is socially fashionable to have anti-Israeli
views, which all too often translate into anti-Semitic views, it is good to
know that some people somewhere are trying to learn the lessons of history.
Best wishes
Mike

Subject: Jewish Life in Radautz Before, During and After the Holocaust
Czernowitzers...
Mid July I released a posting on the German/Romanian project "Jewish Life in
Radautz Before, During and After the Holocaust":
http://ehpes.com/blog1/?p=10088
Bruce wrote: "Wonderful project; congratulations to the team! It would be so
interesting to interview the students at some point to hear their thoughts
and their reactions to what they learned during the course of this project.
I'm so impressed."
Well, dear Bruce, please let me summerize some statements of
students/teachers as follows:
Diana (RO): Diana learned a lot about the Holocaust in Romania and she's
impressed and grateful at the same time that German students take a
proactive interest in this subject.
Theodora (RO): For Theodora the time together with her schoolmates from
Germany elapsed too fast; she'd continue the project for at least four more
weeks.
Safira (RO): Before this project, Safira's knowlege about the Jewish
influence in Radautz, her hometown, was extremely poor; this project was an
eye-opener for her.
Teodora (RO): Teodora didn't know about the existence, not to mention the
location of the Radautz Jewish Cemetery; it was a mystery for her, now
disclosed!
Boy (RO): To learn about the Holocaust from books or from the Internet is
one thing, but to discuss with survivors and witnesses like Bondy Stenzler
and others is a totally different experience.
Cristina (RO): Cristina, the Romanian teacher, states that it's extremely
important to commemorate the Romanian Holocaust victims and in particular
those Jews, who were deported to Transnistria and to other camps.
Christoph (D): Christoph states that by the practice-oriented approach to
this project history came to life.
Julia (D): Julia is deeply involved in this project over the last years. She
was among those students, who conducted interviews in Israel with Holocaust
survivors from Radautz. Julia is one of the most active students when it
comes to history and research works.
Finn (D): Finn is grateful that he had the opportunity to learn much more
about Romania, its culture and its population.
Anna-Sophie (D): Anna-Sophie reminds us that they, i. e. young people from
all countries, based on historical awareness, bear the responsability for a
peaceful future.
As long as we have dedicated students and teachers like this, I think we can
look ahead a bit more relaxed.
