Life was a cheap commodity in 1941 in the East of Europe .
Jewish life in particular.
But this was all we had.

Amazing story, Edgar. Hopefully Jorge Schindler will find someone to make
the link with Samuel del Canto.
Thank you so much for your interest and the important information.
All the best,

Subject: Grzegosz Simonowicz - The Czernowitzer Wallenberg
Czernowitzers...
Jewgenija Finkel's and Markus Winkler's much-cited book "Juden aus
Czernowitz" [Jews from Czernowitz]
http://ehpes.com/blog1/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/51TPVCTE98L.jpg
is reporting on Grzegosz Simonowicz (p. 113/114) as "Der Czernowitzer
Wallenberg" [The Czernowitzer Wallenberg]. During the interwar period the
Polish lawyer Grzegosz Simonowicz lived together with his wife Sofia and
their two sons Zbigniew and Kasimir on Herrengasse 23. Grzegosz run the
Chilean Consulate in Czernowitz on behalf of the Chilean Embassy in
Bucharest.
>From a testimony by the former Czernitzer Rabbi Meschulem Rath, dated April
29, 1943 we learn, that Grzegosz Simonowicz rescued about 800 Polish Jews
from deportation to Transnistria and in addition assisted Czernowitzer Jews
in many different regards and saved the life of many of them. After the
forced liquidation of the Chilean Consulate in Czernowitz and the dismissal
of Grzegosz Simonowicz, they emigrated to Toronto/Canada, where he deceased
36 years later in September 1980.
This touching story on "The Czernowitzer Wallenberg" is linked to Jorge
Schindler's research on the Chilean diplomat Samuel del Campo, subject of
one of our threads earlier this year. Does anybody out there have any
reminiscence on Grzegosz Simonowicz or hint to Grzegosz's family and/or
descendants?
