Czernowitzers...
Since many if not most of our ancestors came initially from Galicia - mine came from Rohatyn - I'd like to draw your special attention to an article, released by the exceptionally gifted researchers Jay Osborn and Marla Raucher Osborn:
http://rohatynjewishheritage.org/en/history/1926-polish-declarations/
Beyond the genealogical aspects, this thoroughly illustrated and designed article enables us to better understand the historical, social and cultural context in interwar Polish Galicia. It reveals the progress in digitization accomplished by the US Library of Congress.
Jay stated: As many of you know, the US Library of Congress has digitized and published online images of the 1926 declarations of friendship between Poland and the US, signed by more than 5 million Polish people, the vast majority of them students of primary and secondary schools. [...] What you may not know is that this summer, the Library finished digitizing and posting all of the primary school pages as well, and they have organized their collection for easy viewing with new links direct to the digital archive. [...]"
Thank you so much, dearest Jay, dearest Marla, that's a real hidden treasure, now substantially disclosed!
