It really is great tracking your adventure and progress. My family's address was Krasnarmelskaya 39, Apt 5. I might have written 3A, but it's actually 39. Not sure if you'll get a chance to go again, but in case you do let me know. All the best. I also eagerly await the next installment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628447176160268961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154439851416570098.post-42909792462568261942008-08-11T15:32:00.000-07:002008-08-11T15:32:00.000-07:00Hi Jo - This has been great reading so far.

It's a 1988 article that examines the lettering and design of tombstones in the Jewish cemetery in Czernowitz (written by Moshe Barasch, an art historian who grew up in Czernowitz and died in Jerusalem in 2004.) There's a <A HREF="http://www.artibusethistoriae.org/?menu=art&gdzie=artibusChapter&id=150" REL="nofollow">brief summary</A> of the article online and I have the whole thing to show you when you get back.<BR/><BR/>Barasch also notes a book about the tombstones, in German, that was printed in Vienna in 1938 but "was confiscated before it could be bound." He says a few copies were bound in Czernowitz and distributed by the author but wonders "how many copies (if any) reached libraries in Western Europe or the United States."<BR/><BR/>Turns out there were a few, though not many, and there is a copy at Brandeis that you might want to look at when you're back.<BR/><BR/>- KenKen Lisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578998494463338017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154439851416570098.post-87728251226097672482008-08-11T11:59:00.000-07:002008-08-11T11:59:00.000-07:00Just to tell you that I am enjoying this!
