RE: [Cz-L] Answer from Yad Vashem

I attended a luncheon today sponsored by the United States Holocaust Museum here in Boca Raton, Florida. The guest speaker was Gerta Klein, whose eloquence and remembrances touched everyone. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35k-xrJyOL8

If there are Cz documents that reflect the Holocaust, its survivors or stories, I am sure they would be honored to have them!

Subject: [Cz-L] Answer from Yad Vashem

Some days ago, I wrote to Yad Vashem, asking for general information about materials accepted by this institution.
Today I received an answer.
I copy here what I wrote:
I belong to an Email group of former Czernowitzers and their descendants called the Czernowitz-List.
It has come to this group's knowledge that eyewitness reports written by victims of the Transnistria deportations from Czernowitz/ Cernauti/Chernivtsi, which are now in the possession of the descendants of the victims, have been offered to Yad VaShem, but that Yad Vashem has refused to accept these reports.
I refer to reports by Jakob Drucker and Dr. Gaby Lichtenberg.
Could you please tell me what the criteria for accepting eyewitness reports to the museum's collection are?

The answer I received is:
Shalom Ms. Miriam Taylor,
We cannot answer your question since we do not have enough information.
Who sent us the testimonies/reports?
Where were they taken?
When were they sent to Yad Vashem?
Who in Yad Vashem replied?

Sincerely,
Leah Teichthal
Dir. Ref. & Info. Svces

Please those of you who can help me to answer the questions I received from Yad Vashem, send me the information and I will send it to Yad Vashem.

Mimi
