Dear Jolie,
   Popovici is memorialized by his people where and how they like.
    Doing it by his grave is only right.
      Remember , they pay tribute to his courage and honesty, not to us -
       the Jews he saved.
         Before this there was nothing in his memory, nothing !
            For this we should be grateful.
           So there is absolutely no shame in this. Nor in the village name.
              Remember , Lourdes was a shabby little village not so long ago
!

               Not memorializing Popovici in Czernowitz is a disgrace ,
                  but this has nothing to do with the Museum .
               They systematically and successfully wipe out Jewish history
 from Czernowitz.
               First they attributed this to Soviet rule -orders from the
Kremlin.
                 Now they are independent - to what effect ? Nothing
changed.
                     Sad but true,
                         Hardy
