Czernowitzers...
I've updated my posting on "The Aron Kodesh in the Siret Synagogue - A Criminal Case" at our Ehpes Blog
http://ehpes.com/blog1/?p=10687
by adding one more comparative photo and an article published today by the leading Romanian newspaper Adevarul [The Truth] earlier today. As a matter of fact the Aron Kodesh came first under the hammer of sub-prime counterfeiters and ended then under the hammer of Israeli auctioneers. Brazenly taking advantage of the publicity, the auctioneers even increased the minimum bidding price to US$ 40,000,00 and the winning bid amounted to US$ 50,000,00!
So it goes! Well, Interpol and prosecutor's offices in Romania and Israel are investigating the case, BUT will that return the Aron Kodesh to Siret?
