Hi Boris The author retraces Velvel’s travels through Galicia, Bukovona and Ukraine so it does cover all these areas, although not in great detail. I found enough in it about Czernowitz to recall my mother’s stories and reminisces of her birthplace Czernowitz and to remind me of my own visit there in 2002. I hope you can achieve your wish of a translation. Regards Miriam
