Space:
I calculated and found that the text includes 40 words and 250 letters.
Multiplied by 5 sqcm for each letter and by 4 languages in addition to
spacings and a
Popovici picture this would make the plate about one sqm.
Quite big.
I suggest an economy text that would tell the story in 26 words:
Here lived Traian Popovici (1892 - 1946).
In 1941 ,as mayor of Czernowitz , he saved 20,000 Jews from
deportation to Transnistria.
To his memory from the Jews of Czernowitz.
