RE: [Cz-L] Popovici

No doubt about it. Does it really matter?

For once the Romanian bribery habit was a blessing, because it saved thousands of Jewish lives.

This did not happen in any other  Fascist country.

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
