Thank you Berti for including the work of my late grandmother, Anny (Hubner) Andermann in this discussion of the Transnistria orphans. My father continues to speak to us often about her involvement in these efforts.
Here are photos of her with some of the orphans she was working to rescue which were sent in to the U.S. holocaust museum, and available online:

Dear Ruth, Dear Shula, Dear Berti, Dear David,
Thank you all for your precious contributions, which are reenforcing Mariana Hausleitner's argument. I've forwarded all messages to Mariana, prominent German historian and - above all - good friend of mine. I'm looking forward to receiving updated research findings as soon as they might become available.
Warmest wishes to all of you!
Edgar Hauster

Dear Edgar and the other members of the list
I was also one of the repatriated orphans from Transnistria in the
spring of 1944.
The children were divided in groups for different Rumanian cities and
when we arrived there the Jewish population took the children to them. I
arrived in Bacau. It was actually a shameful situation as we were laying
in a synagogue and were on display for the families to chose. I was
chosen by a family and they wanted me to call them father and mother
which I refused because I remembered my own parents to good. One year
later we were assembled in Buzau to be prepared to go on to Palestine. I
do not know what happened but only a small group went on aliah with the
three small boats of which one, the Mefcure, was torpedoed by the
Germans and all olim drowned.
The others were left in Buzau So we tried to earn our food and then I
returned to the Aaron family in Bacau. The rumor was that the places of
the other children were sold to Jews that paid the organizers. I came on
aliah only in 1947, was captured by the British on "Medinat Haiehudim"
sent to Cyprus and in December 1947 with a prince Charles certificate
arrived in Raanana .
Best whishes to all

> I happen to be one of the repatriated orphans from Transnistria. To my knowledge, the repatriation of about 2.000, not 5.000 orphans, has been rejected several times. The first time was in 1943, when Eichman ordered the cancellation of the plan. (See Addendum in chapter 5 „The Orphanages" page 142 in my book Ruth’s Journey. It was not until Antonescu saw that the Axis is losing the war, and only two weeks before the liberation of Transnistria, did he finally approve that request. Apparently he hoped that this generous gesture would save him from being judged as a WAR CRIMINAL.
