Dear Mr. Kylynych,
Recently I came across your official website regarding the 600th
Anniversary of Czernivtsy. I read with interest about your plans and
projects but was surprised by
the omission of a main issue regarding the history of Czernivtsy.
Between 1850 and 1945 the majority of the population of the town was of
Jewish origin. Their
contribution to the economic, social and cultural life in the city and
in the region was of major proportions.

The profile of the city and region was determined by this majority. The
overwhelming contribution of this major ethnic group made Czernivtsy a
place famous
in Europe. Jewish writers and poets, artists, musicians, scientists,
businessmen, became world-renowned and spread the name of their
birthplace throughout
the world. Unfortunately for Czernivtsy and the whole world, it suffered
a terrible set-back and loss through the Holocaust. My family and my
friends (most of them
of Jewish Czernivtsy Bukowina provenience are making efforts to preserve
the spiritual, social and artistic heritage, as well as dear memories of
this time. Our connection to this heritage is very strong, since it is
part of our identity.

I suupose you know about a lot of books and publications, documentary
films written and produced in the last decade on the subject of Czernivtsy.
Dr. Josif Bursuc, Dr. Gurewitch, Prof. Rychlo, Josif Burg, Sergij
Ossatchuk and Johann Schlamp could be valuable sources of information.
Don't hesistate to contact me as well as www.ehpes.com for information
or assistance.

In order to complete the historic image of Czernivtsy and the Bukowina
one cannot ignore the historic facts I mentioned above. May I suggest
you approach
this matter and complete the historic identiy of Czernivtsy as written
by history.

On our next visit to Czernivtsy we would be happy to meet you personally.

With best wishes,

Eduard Weissmann
