Re: [Cz-L] Correct number of people saved by Traian Popovici

In 1941 Popovici saved 19600 Jews.
  This is a fact and this goes on the plate.
    A year later some of them were deported ,other died of typhoid..
     Does this change the number of the 1941 feat ?
     Popovici succeeded in saving 19600 jews . Those 2600 later deported
     were also saved in 41 and stayed for almost a year in Czernowitz due to
Popovici.
     This must go on the plate.
       Saving is saving, temporary or not . The plate says saved in 1941 and
is correct.
       You should not have set anything in action before asking us.
