RE: [Cz-L] Rescue Operation of Czernowitz Jews - A Joint Venture

Mimi...he was a doctor in the German Army in WW1 and then became a diplomat
in 1920,starting in Brussels.He was based in various Embassies....and in
Czernowitz 1934 to 1940 and then from 41 to 44. And once you have quit as a
doctor for that many years you cannot go back so easily!! I have no
information re SS membership ???? Cornel

Absolutely not!
He joined the NSDAP in 1932, when it was as yet not indispensable
for each diplomat to be a party member.
He also was briefly a member of the SS.
(of course this he did just because he liked to ride horses)
He was a trained physician, he did not have to work for a Nazi
government
in a provincial small Romanian town.

There were German citizens who risked their well being and even their
lives
in order to save Jews, but I have read nothing which convinces me
that Schellhorn was one of them.

And why if he had been the savior of 20000 Jews in 1941,
did he let about 4000 Jews be deported to Transnistria in 1942?
