Ribal Al-Assad, Chairman of The Iman Foundation, recently visiting The Chernivtsi Museum of the History and Culture of Bukovinian Jews, and met with its Director Mykola Kushnir.

The Museum is dedicated to the remarkable but little-known phenomenon of Bukovinian Jewry from the end of eighteenth century to the 1940s.

The museum is important both for Bukovinian Jews and for those who have emigrated, as well as for the children and grandchildren of former inhabitants of Bukovina. They actively collect material about their history and are interested in its dignified representation.

The museum is equally important for the citizens of Ukraine who belong to various nationalities - for those who love their native country and want to know its history and for those who are interested in the phenomenon of Bukovinian Jews, a part of the Jewish nation that has managed to build its own state after 2000 years in exile.
