Re: [Cz-L]The Consul of Chile managed to save Jews from deportation to Transnistria ?

Hi Michael and Abraham,
I feel it is my duty to research the topic, being a Chilean and a former
diplomat (I was the ambassador of Chile to Israel between 2000 and 2006). I
will try to work on this issue next month (I am on the verge of travelling
for three weeks tomorrow).
My uncle Herman Schachner z.l. received a visa to Bolivia and stayed in
Chile approx. in 1938. My mother z.l. was found in Paris by the Joint
Committee, heading to Palestine. She changed her route because my uncle had
sent her a ticket to travel to Chile. So I am positive that my family had no
contact with the Chilean Consul in Rumania. (Most probably the Chilean
Jewish community was well organized because my mother became a Chilean
citizen and in her document it says she was Rumanian. But in 1947, when she
arrived in Chile Czernowitz was no longer Rumanian, for which reason she
became stateless and was not allowed to live in Bucharest). So I am certain
that here in Chile there definitely was consular help.
To be continued...
Regards,
Sally Bendersky

Dear Abraham,

Do you have a contact email for Mr Zadoff. I would really like to
learn more about this topic.

A relative of mine, Berta Kranzdorf who survived the war in
Czernowitz, is listed as being a citizen of Chile in documents on
Jewishgen. But to the best of our knowledge she never went to Chile.
After the war she joined her daughter in NY.

We have always wondered what was the Chile connection and if that had
saved her life.

Kind regards

Michael Kransdorff
