POPOVICI SURVIVORS , WHO STILL REMEMBER , HOW MANY ?
Today we are out for speculations . How many Jews saved by Popovici
are still around ?
Assuming to what we know , the number of saved was roughly 20,000 in 1941=
.
Let us split this number into 10 age groups at 2000 persons per group.
Each group of a 7 year age span.
The first age group who was 0-7 years old we can remove, they were too=
small to remember or tell us anything.
Age groups 3-10 were from 21 – 70 years of age at that time so that=
today they must be 90 to 139 years of age by now and therefore almost
extinct .
Those still alive of this age group don’t remember very much or ve=
ry
well.
This leaves age group 2 and 3 , those who were from 7 to 21 years old at=
that time.
They are now from 75 to 89 years old.
At 2000 heads per group that sums up to 4000 survivors.
Natural death , sickness , accidents, wars must have taken their tol=
l
too.
During 70 years an estimate of 1000( or so) didn’t make it .
This leaves some 3000 living Popovici survivors.
People who can still remember .
If they don’t have Alzheimer.
Genuine 3000 Popovici survivors.
How much longer ? Your can guess .
What will be left then ?
The Popovici plate at Yad Vashem and the Herrengasse plate of 2008.
If we , hopefully , succeed.
And a story of human infamy .
