Thanks to Bruce's for his comment, that my Popovici authorization
is accessible on the Ehpes website. To this I want to add, that since
the copy of the original is in black and white, it does not show that
the signature of Iliescu and all the content of the document are
in green ink and the signature of Popovici, is in purple ink, or
possibly
is not a hand written signature, but rather a stamped signature.
I tell you this, to show that Popovici may not have had the final say
about who did or did not received the authorization.

Another remark:
In the authorization, my father is described as being an "agricultor"
and having a "licenciat" in Mathematics.
He did have a "licenciat" (masters degree) in math, but the "agricultor"
(working in agriculture) was a document he had acquired in 1940,
before the Soviets entered Czernowitz, in order not to be considered
a "burjui" and not be sent to Siberia.

Clearly, there is nothing in this authorization, to justify a claim
that my father was indispensable to the economy of Czernowitz.
As I have mentioned before, my father was indispensable to
the Romanian man, who was given the factory of my grandparents.
Without my father, uncle and one of our Jewish employees,
the Romanian would not have been able to operate the factory.
A cousin of my mother, who had also worked in the factory,
and his family were deported to Transnistria, but I do not know
whether this was so because they did not have a Popovici permit,
or because they did not have a Calotescu permit in June of 1942.

They were sent to the other side of the Bug, which seems to indicate
that they were caught during a "ratia" (search and deportation)
in June of 1942.

[Mimi... it was J. rather than B. that put in the comment. If you send me the
scan again, I will reproduce it in colour, do a better job on the processing, and
post it back to the website. --jerome]
