Dear Andrew,

A film on Popovici - that also portrays Jewish life in pre-war
Czernowitz as well as during the 1940-44 period - is an excellent
idea, and your approach sounds very promising. Might we consider a
docu-drama that combines historical footage and photos and survivors'
testimonies with fictional re-enactment of the stories of one or two
families?
