Re: [Cz-L] Work-camp by SVIT Ukraine to clear the Jewish Cemetery of Chernivtsi

Dear all,

Thank you, Merle, for the kind answer but I have to clarify in one point: I'm NOT organizing the work-camp; I just support it.

The SVIT work-camp is not funded by public money but by donations. Everybody can contribute. For those of you who have a bank account within the European Union it is easy to donate to SCI Germany: http://www.sci-d.de/cms/index.php?spenden
Write "Czernowitz" as subject of your transaction, so SCI will know what to use your donation for.

In case you need alternative transaction methods, contact SCI directly: http://www.sci-d.de/cms/index.php?kontakt

All the best
Christian
