[Cz-L] An Idea for 600th Anniversary Presentation

Czernowitzers...

On our website are literally thousands of photos and postcards from
before 1945 which depict in many different ways, life in Jewish
Czernowitz.

Suppose someone were to make a continuously revolving power point
presentation out of these materials. And suppose this was played on a
large plasma or lcd display in the temple during the festivities.
Would this not be an appropriate response for materials on our part?

There is so much material instantly available that I would bet it
would take hours and hours for a repeat if the presentation were in a
continuous loop.

It would be a labour of love, of course, but I'm sure someone would
rise to the occasion.

To get a feel of what I'm talking about, Hardy Brierer has made a
small power point presentation about the town of Podhajce which I've
posted on the Podhajce JewishGen website. If you get a chance, take a
look at:

http://shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/podhajce/breierpps/hardypps.html

and imagine thousands of our pictures and documents being presented
this
way on a large screen with sound.

Just an idea....

Best,
jerome
