SIGMUND ROLAT ...

Dear Częstochowa Friends,
A few words about our past three successful Reunions...
The first Reunion in 2004 featured our exhibition "The Jews of Częstochowa" and the rededication of the Jewish Cemetery.
The second, in 2006, will be remembered for its great turnout at the beautiful Sukkah (Ambassador Shewach Weiss called it
"the biggest in the world"). We all fondly recall the October 2009 Reunion unveiling of the Umschlagplatz Monument, the Hasag
commemoration and the return of the Huberman violin to our New Synagogue (now the Philharmonic).
Three years later, it would seem the right time to meet again. I was glad to hear from Alon Goldman that our Israeli landsleit
(always important and sizeable) would love to come with their children if our Reunion were to be held during the Sukkoth school
vacations. What a wonderful idea! If our roots are not to be forgotten, the next generation must be with us.
There is another reason why early October promises to be memorable. The Philharmonic Hall is now undergoing renovation. When
officially opened on October 3rd or 4th, it will clearly memorialise the foundation upon which it stands - our beautiful
"New Synagogue" - AND it will be officially named "The Bronisław Huberman Philharmonic". With luck, the great Joshua Bell
will join us again with the "Huberman Stradivarius".
I have high hopes for our 2012 Reunion in Częstochowa!
Sigmund Rolat
