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

Instead of dealing with the crux of the matter we solve problems like:
 Did Schellhorn like horses ,was he good doctor or good Nazi etc.?
   Interesting as it may be this has no relevance.
   What is relevant is this :
     On the 14 Oct 1941 Marshal Antonescu phoned Calotescu ordering him
  to exempt 20000 Jews from deportation, contravening his previous decree.
    Why did this happen ?
     What made him change his mind ?
        Here lies the answer to our question.
       If money was involved ? I wouldnt wonder - this was Rumania.
         We somehow got our permit without bribing.
           We were short of cash, as usual.
            Neither were we essential to the war effort.
