One question: do you have a drawing which explains all the bits & pieces of the synagogue (or any synagogue for that matter). In particular, I am trying to see where the partition for women was.

Ignore them! Continue with your work for there are many laymen and women who rely upon you and others who bring clouded history into current reality.
