Subject: RE: Letter to Mayor of Czernivtsy

"I wonder if some one of us who is literate in Ukrainian, could write a
letter to the editor of a widely read Chernivtsi newspaper expressing
essentially the same thoughts?

Editing out our ancestors from the historical fabric which is Czernowitz
is intellectually dishonest and totally unacceptable."


Jerome Schatten has made an excellent point about contacting the newspapers
in Chernivtsi. I would like to add another suggestion that members of this
list also contact the American and Israeli press. It seems to me that the
omission of our ancestors in what is supposed to be an anniversary
celebration would be of interest, perhaps even more so, to those, who over
the years, have been forced to leave Czernowitz and who may not be
subscribers to this list at present. Why not bring this "denial" to the
attention of the world.
