“Eduard really knows Romania and has an intense pride and love for the Romanian people. His knowledge of culture and politics is very personal and deep. He also has a special interest in researching Jewish roots and has made strong efforts to befriend the heads of the various remaining Jewish communities to gain access to synagogues and records. I sense that his avocation for researching the Jewish history of Romania will be a great help to Holocaust survivors and children of the Holocaust survivors who are interested in restoring a sense of continuity to their family heritage. We wish you all our best and we thank you for being one of our family for the week.”

“I am emailing you to tell you what a wonderful time we had with you as our guide! I went to Romania in search of family history, but found so much more… a remarkable landscape and what I hope will be a lasting friendship. My mind is filled with images of Saxon villages, summer wildflowers in countryside and cemetery, painted Monasteries, nesting storks and so much more. I have already googled recipes for mamaliga and muraturi . But while Romania is wonderful in itself, it became spectacular under your guidance. Thank you so much for a wonderful , wonderful trip. In the meantime, I want you to know how much we appreciate your expertise and friendship. Until next time, when we can visit the wooden churches and Danube Delta.”

“Dear Eduard - Alice and I want to thank you for the wonderful week we spent with you from May 28, 2011 to June 3, 2011. All of the arrangements that you made for us were excellent. However, even more important was the knowledge and the insights that we gained about Romania — the country of my Mother’s birth. We saw and learned a great deal in a week. Your personal connections with people and places “off the beaten path” greatly enhanced our trip. Of particular note was the Cistercian Abbey in Carta. Your friendship with the priest leading to a most interesting tour of this 800 year old site (as well as the invitation to his living quarters) was a true highlight of our tour. The ecumenical nature of your personal contacts also allowed us to visit some very interesting Jewish synagogues and gain interesting historical insights.”
