When World War I started , he went to Romania and enlisted in the Romanian Army , fighting until the end of the war . Military dictator Ion Antonescu requested him to become mayor of Cernăuţi , but Popovici initially refused , unwilling to serve a fascist government . He changed his mind , however , based on advice from his friends . A few days after acceptance , he was ordered to create a ghetto for the Jews of Cernăuţi , but Popovici refused to accept that part of the city ' s population could be confined behind barbed wire fences . After long debates , the governor of the region accepted his point of view . Due to Popovici ' s defense of Jews , his political adversaries nicknamed him " " jidovitul " " ( " the turned - Jewish " ) . In 1941 , the new governor announced his decision that all the Jews of Cernăuţi must be deported to Transnistria . After talks with the governor , the latter agreed that Popovici would be allowed to nominate 200 Jews which were to be exempted . Unsatisfied with the modest concession , Traian Popovici tried reaching Antonescu himself , this time arguing that Jews were of capital importance to Cernăuţi ' s economy and requested a postponement until replacements could be found . As a result , he was allowed to expand the list , which covered 20 , 000 Jews in its final version . He is honored by Israel ' s Yad Vashem memorial as one of the " Righteous Among the Nations " , an honour given to non - Jews who behaved with heroism in trying to save Jews from the genocide of the Holocaust .
