Dear Iosif,
So very sorry to hear of your loss. I didn’t know Shura, but she was such an accomplished individual and certainly left her mark in many ways. May her memory always be for a blessing.

Subject: [czernowitz-l] Shura Vaisman, z"l (1962-2021)
Shura Vaisman passed away earlier this year after a decades-long
struggle with cancer (
http://www.vaisman.org/shura/zl/). An
accomplished biomedical scientist by day, she pursued a number of
diverse creative hobbies in her spare time. Many of her projects were
focused on her beloved hometown. In the mid-1990s Shura designed
http://czernowitz.org - one of the very first websites dedicated to
Czernowitz. In 2008 she created a website
(
http://www.czernowitz.org/2008/) and a program book
(
http://www.czernowitz.org/2008/conference_program.pdf) for the
centennial Yiddish language conference in Chernivtsi.
In 2009 Shura made a video clip (
https://youtu.be/2hnhq3nHfl4) for a
song by Russian poet and singer-songwriter Mikhail Shcherbakov. This
song is a quest in search of a lost place and time. Its lyrics is a
message addressed to a future local historian with the instructions on
how to find and understand the narrator's place of origin (the English
translation of the lyrics can be found at
http://www.vaisman.org/shura/1992_koi.html). The song and the clip can
serve as a powerful metaphor for any effort to preserve the ephemeral
memories of everchanging physical and cultural realities. Shura made
valuable contributions to such efforts.
May her memory be a blessing.
Iosif Vaisman
