http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/warsaw-jewish-cemetery/ My last day in Poland was a day of celebration and commemoration elsewhere in Europe. In Germany, crowds were gathering in front of the Brandenburg Gate to mark 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, while across the world Jewish communities were preparing to mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht. It was a rainy morning, but still I trudged out to the Okopowa Street Jewish cemetery, among the largest in Europe, to see the progress of a project to record information from the tombstones for a searchable online database.  en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-11-11T;15:51:01-05:00 manubrob@hotmail.com The work these young people are doing is very important ,because you get a sense of belonging , of identity.
