To say the least.  The festivals were absolutely glorious and worth the special 
trip from NY.  This news is a most terrible for Mira and for everyone who knew 
her.   Yiddish language and culture, Holland and all Yiddishists have lost a 
great power.   I don't know who can take her place in Amsterdam.   Just 
devastating news.

I have no additional information, but know that the festivals
were wonderful events, and that people had been very happy to
work with Ms. Rafalowicz. She will be very much missed.
