Subject: [Cz-L] Samuel del Campo
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
Madrid; 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, Sam=
uel del
Campo, between the years 1941-1943, who as I could investigate, would have
helped the Jews of Polish origin in Czernowitz. Looking for evidence of
possible people, documents, or memories that help me in the investigation t=
o
recover the memory of this diplomat. Samuel, with the help of his Romanian
Jewish Secretary, managed to stop the deportation by train to some Jews,
and give Chilean passports to at least 1700 people. It also protected their
homes, placing Chile seal on their doors. After the war, Chile dismissed hi=
m
from his job and never returned to Chile, dying in France in the 1960s,
leaving no relatives. I am looking for evidence of possible people,
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
late for restoring justice! More prominent historians, such as Dr. Mariana
Hausleitner from Germany and Dr. Florin C. Stan from Romania, are involved
in this important process too.
