RE: [Cz-L] Popovici at the Jewish Museum

Another thought...I have tried to find this Yiddish Culture society with no
success. I may be paranoid...but it too sounds like one of the many
Soviet-era front set-ups!! I am speaking to a friend in Czernowitz in a
couple of days..if I find anything will tell the group. Cornel

Yes Mimi,
 The director of the Jewish Museum.
   What strikes me is the complete ignorance of the episode.
   Somebody said she attended the plate inauguration.
   Did she ?
 Even if her allegations are true ,how can you ignore an event that
  saved the lives of 20,000 people ( no matter how).
   Traian Popovici will stay linked to Jewish history of Czernowitz even
    if he took money for the permits ( he did not ).
    Bribes were paid to low rank apparatchiks -this is unavoidable.
   History is not always nice ,but it still is history and a Museum is there
   to tell it.
    If we filter history and show only "positive" events we have to throw
   half of it into the garbage bin.
     Let her caption Popovici as she likes - he will stay in the Czernowitz
     narrative of its darkest hours as a ray of hope.
