David-
I have stopped reading most of the Jewishgen messages that do not contain
the surname I am searching for. I have almost given up hope of ever finding
a realative- living or past. But your subject line moved me to open the
message. Not only was your note moving, but as He would have it, I am
Rachel Popper, searching for any information on any Popper. Please respond
when you can, and all my best as you try to find peace with this tragedy.
