[Cz-L] Interesting encounter

I volunteer as a  a tour guide at the Philadelphia Academy of Music. Today, in my group, were three people from the Ukraine. When I told them that  I was originally from Czernivtzi, one woman said, "I am from Czernivtzi". At the end of the tour, one of the members of the party asked if I survived the Holocaust there (I obviously must look Jewish). I told them that I did thanks to Traian Popovici. The woman who was from Czernivtzi said that she had never heard of him. She seemed fairly well educated, asked intelligent questions . She then said that she must find out about him, wrote down his name, and promised me to look for his plaque. Obviously, Popovici's name is not thought of as being terribly important to today's population of Czernowitz.
