Hi, Bruce.
Thank you for the photos and advice!
Also thought you (and perhaps others on the list) might be interested in the following message pertaining to my great-uncle, the artist Leon Kopelman, I received from one of the guides recommended to me, Zoya Danilovich:
"You will be amazed by the following story: once my aunt Ada came from Odessa for a visitr, she asked me to taje her to a museum, she wanted to see Leon Kopelman's works. She told me that her best friend was Claudia Kopelman, Leon's daughter, they studied together at school No. 4 in Cz. They spend a lot of time together. Claudia was very good in math, physics and helped Ada and other school mates, she was very kind, Ada said, she shared her sandwiches witn Ada too.
Ada visited Claudia very often thye lived ina luxury apartmentin Jambula street ( down from herrengasse ).
After graduation from the unoversity Claudia moved to Lvov, she got a job there. Her husband's name was Sasha Boksiner (Boxiner ), they had 2 children: Vitaliy and Gena. Claudia used to coime from time to time with her familuy to Odessa, where my aunthad moved from Cz. They also met in Lvov, where Ada came for a visit.
"When I reread your letter, I recollected our visit with Ada to the miseum, this morning I called her and she told me the story."
Zoya told me that Ada had tried unsuccessfully to reach Claudia (who moved to the US with her family around 1993) through the Internet; of course I have now put them in touch.
What a small world!
Again, I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude to everyone who has written to help guide me. I'm becoming ever more excited about visiting Czernowitz. Although I have not as yet set the itinerary, I did make preliminary hotel reservations for the span of dates I'm most likely to be there and hope to have everything planned within the next week or so.
All the best,
Lesli

I helped lead the indexing work on the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery so I'm glad to make sure the information is available and useful According to our index, Leon and Charlotta are buried in Area 121 (map: <http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/newcemetery/bruce/bruce1.html>) and I'm attaching photos of his tombstone and several nearby to help you find them. The cemetery is generally overgrown but for the last decade two different international groups have volunteered to clean up the cemetery, section by section. So I hope you'll find Area 121 to be accessible.
