In my Inbox this morning was an email from one Alexandra Nichitean with two photos and a link. Both photos are presumably from the ORT in Czernowitz. The one of the girls on the steps we have posted before, but the Chess game photo is new: Perhaps someone can identify people in this photo?
This chess photo and the photo taken on the steps of the ORT in Czernowitz are part of a collection of 28 very interesting photos accessible through the link directly below:

I believe the remaining 26 photos are all from Bessarabia, but I don’t know that for sure
The source of the collection comes from: http://www.ozet.ort.spb.ru/ Which contains hundreds of photos and a wealth of other information about the ORT (in several languages).

Alexandra is a new list member as of Feb 16 – and very nicely put me in touch with the head of the Suceava Jewish Community – Sorin Gold – on Facebook. She sent these sets to me, too, and there may be other photo sets on the Bucovina oriented Facebook group where this album is posted.
OK Bruce — I didn’t know Alexandra became a member — Thanks for the heads-up.
Welcome Alexandra! I hope we hear more from you and about you on the List.

Wow, just amazing, thank you so much for sharing and, Alexandra, welcome to the group, your contribution is highly appreciated!
I always perk up when I see the word ORT because my mother, Anna (Fell) Hulles was a teacher in ORT in Czernowitz somewhere between 1930-1945. She also taught in ORT in the Bamberg DP Camp 1946-1949. She taught sewing and mathematics. I was with her the entire time.
