Re: [Cz-L] Conference in Chernivtsi, Oct 8

Dear Marianne,
   How I envy you on the conference and for going to Czernowitz.
    When they speak on Traian Popovici it it worthwhile mentioning
  that no street in the town carries his name and his memory is
  wiped out.
    If you could find out the position of the City Council as to pointing
    out the contribution of the Jews in the forthcoming jubilee it would
    help us very much.
    Have a nice visit
       Hardy
