Shoah in Romania
Just received this E mail fro a former Campulung resident now living in Israel. The Shoah of the Romanian Jews, there are some pictures of Czernowitz . I hope somebody has the skills to translate to English from the Hebrew. It’s to complicated for my skills with Computers.
This is a PowerPoint presentation, so you will need a PowerPoint viewer to see it.

Virtual Sightseeing Flight Over Czernowitz
In May/June 2010 Julius Großmann from Heidelberg in Germany made a journey through Poland, Ukraine (including Czernowitz), Moldavia, Romania, Hungary and Austria. Nothing of note? Sure! It was a BIKE RIDE: 24 stages (Czernowitz = stage no. 6 on p. 17 – 24), cycling 3,600 kilometers with 23,000 metres in altitude. Incredible! His illustrated trip report (in German) is available for download here.
As an additional result of his journey, Julius compiled the existing Google Earth Czernowitz map with the 1907 street map of Czernowitz, available in our map section. A new mapping experience arose from this ingenious compilation process, so the new
