 Mimi,
It is 1 November 1942 - not 1941 - almost a year after the Ghetto
 and Popovici was no longer there.
  The exhibition was the "Achievements of popular economy."
 In many captions they are referred as the Royal Couple but King Michael was
not married and this was his mother the Queen Mother Elena formerly
 married to King Carol 2 who was dismissed in 1940.

     She was instrumental in helping Popovici achieving the stay permits.
     She was known as Helen of Greece and a scion of Queen Victoria .
      Also Righteous among Nations.

Dear Edgar,

Thank you for bringing these photographs to our attention.
I am accessed some of the photographs under the subject "Czernowitz" and
found some a photograph taken in Bucharest titled:
W 134 Nr. 032540a
Bukarest: Verkäuferinnen des Transnistrienladens, im Laden.

What did they sell in this shop?
Personal belongings of the Jews sent to Transnistria?
Then there are photographs of king Mihai, the queen mother Elena and
Antonescu visiting an exhibition in Czernowitz on Nov. 1st 1942.
While we were in the ghetto not knowing whether we would live.

Does anyone know what exhibit this was?
Traian Popovici, then mayor of Cernauti is not in the entourage of the
royals, neither is the metropolit Tit Semedrea.

I have read that both the queen mother and the metropolit on the urging of
Popovici, intervened for the Czernowitz Jews with Antonescu. Could this have
happened during this visit?

Mimi
