To add to Hardy's comment....in Romania they regard Traian Popovici as a
Romanian Schindler. And Andy,s comment re his father, a priest, beating him
is not exactly relevant.. and there are Jewish fathers who beat their
kids..and some are rabbis. Cornel.

Andy writes:
"If you categorize Popovici as a product of Cz then you and I are also
products
of Cz and yet we are all very different. His father was a priest who beat
Traian "

So writes Andy,
To this I say:
  Popovici and many other Jew- savers were not particulary Jew- lovers.
   But they were humanists. They considered Jews as humans and entitled
   to air, sunlight and joy.
     And he cared for historical reputation, he remarked how this chapter
    of history would be written and how his people would fare in history.
     He was a visionary.
       His people came out as black as pitch.
          Until lately they denied any involvement.
