[Cz-L] from Romania about Traian Popovici

Dear Czernowitzers,

My name is Florentin Lehaci and I am a history teacher in Romania. I
am also the president of "Traian Popovici Association for Education,
democracy and tolerance", composed in majority from teachers, which
was created few months ago. This organization proposes itself to
promote Traian Popovici's involve. Perhaps, you have heard about this
organization, because I have corresponded more with Hardy Breier and
Cora Scwartz.

First, I want to appreciate your initiative to put up a commemorative
plaque to Traian Popovici in Czernowitz. I have read with a great
interest your discussion about this plaque. I hope that it will be
achieved. But I have a proposal. I request also from you an
involvement in my projects. I know that some of you (or your family)
are survivors thanks to Traian Popovici. I dare to contact you with
the desire to collaborate, trying to realize together a common goal:
the popularization of the Traian Popovici's implication for the
diminution of the Holocaust effects. I hope you agree with this
aspect and you will help me for this because I need you. I have been
looking for someone who survived thanks to mayor Traian Popovici. I
need more testimonies. Please, reply me if you can give me some
details about you and what you remember about ghetto, Traian Popovici
and anything would help me in connection with these aspects. I want
to know that I'm trying to arrange a museum place into school about
Traian Popovici and the Holocaust from Bukowina. My school will be
named in this autumn "Traian Popovici school"

The headoffice of the Association is in Fundu Moldovei, Suceava
district, a village in which there is Traian Popovici's tomb. We wish
we would built him a bust in the nearly future. In October, this
year, we are going to organize, in connection with The Holocaust
Survivors Association, Ellie Wiesel Institute from Bucharest and
Jewish Federation from Romania, a symposium in Cimpulung Moldovenesc
about Holocaust and Traian Popovici.

We think that it is important that your Czernowitz community to be
involved in my Association project. The success of the manifestation
depends on the gratitude of those who benefited by his implication
too.

So that I think that a connection between events would give more
importance to commemoration. Would be possible to organize the events
together? Don't forget that Traian Popovici's birthday is on 17th
October!!!! So that I propose you to organize together the events,
both putting up of the plaque and the symposium from Cimpulung. The
both events would be parts of the same festivity. And you could take
part in the both events (who was going to come in Czernowitz this
year)!!!!! What do you think about it?

Best wishes,

Teacher Lehaci Florentin
