Hi Gabriele,
    If the Yidish language commemorial is to be held under the 600 jubilee
,as many
of us wish , the location will be assigned by the city.
    They will allocate a place and time ,with the mayor giving an opening
adress .
     If not ,which is more likely , we will have to do it ourselves and I
really don't
     know who is going to put things together.
        Maybe you Gabriele , who shows such competence and eagerness ?

    " Das Geklapper der Gerippe
        Ist das Hohelied der Sippe "
    Stay well
HARDY
