Hi Cornel,
I don't have documents to prove the fact that there was a lot of bribery going on. What I know for a fact, is that many of our relatives, who were no "SPECIALISTS" did buy the permits and stayed in Czernowitz.
Moreover, the "Screening committee called upon the leaders of the Jewish congregation to prepare the lists, so the bakshees or bribery went through the hands of those leaders and the Romanian officials.
Traian Popovici had nothing to do with all that. I am quite sure that he himself has not taken any money.
We could have also obtained the permit, had one of my uncles given us the necessary amount of money but, unfortunately, he refused. (See Ruth's Journey, chapter 2, page 43,44 and 45)
I am sure that there still are some Czernowiters that will validate my statement.
Warm regards,
Ruth
