I think, it's an excellent idea.
Not enough has been done to commemorate the deeds of Traian Popovici.
Unfortunately, I don't have much to contribute. My mother and her family
were deported to Transnistria, and my father's family were arrested and
ended up in Siberia.
There is my mother's cousin from Haifa who survived in Czernowitz as a
baby with her widowed mother.

Serah Kraft
