Czernowitzers...
It was our fellow member Sally Bendersky, Chilean Ambassador in Israel and =
dean of the Latin American ambassadors (2000-2006), who facilitated for us =
the contact to Jorge Schindler, First Secretary of the Chilean Embassy in M=
adrid; Jorge stated as follows:
My name is Jorge Schindler, from the year 2013 I’m conducting research wi=
th respect to the Chargé d’Affaires of Chile in Bucharest – Romania, =
Samuel del Campo, between the years 1941-1943, who as I could investigate, =
would have helped the Jews of Polish origin in Czernowitz. Looking for evid=
ence of possible people, documents, or memories that help me in the investi=
gation to recover the memory of this diplomat. Samuel, with the help of his=
Romanian Jewish Secretary, managed to stop the deportation by train to som=
e Jews, and give Chilean passports to at least 1700 people. It also prot=
ected their homes, placing Chile seal on their doors. After the war, Chile =
dismissed him from his job and never returned to Chile, dying in France in =
the 1960s, leaving no relatives. I am looking for evidence of possible peop=
le, documents, or memories that help me in the investigation to recover the=
memory of this diplomat.
Thanks a lot for your help

Please let us all activate our "collective memory", since it's never too la=
te for restoring justice! More prominent historians, such as Dr. Mariana Ha=
usleitner from Germany and Dr. Florin C. Stan from Romania, are involved in=
this important process too.
