Czernowitzers...
To this date, no research has been conducted on the Romanian and Jewish women who got involved in the saving of over 5.000 orphaned children from the Romanian occupation territory Transnistria. Among them Annie Andermann and Finnie Bibring both from Bukovina played a decisive role within the autonomous Help-Commission at the Jewish Center. Prof. Dr. Mariana Hausleitner's article [in German language] published by the Faculty of Arts Comenius University in Bratislava in 2016, now available at our Ehpes Blog
http://ehpes.com/blog1/?p=10029
shines a light on this subject. The article shows how a group of Jewish women collected garments and medication for the deported Jews from Romania in the camps of Transnistria. They closely cooperated with some Romanian women who distributed these goods through the channels of the Romanian Red Cross. After a long struggle in the spring of 1944, the first orphaned children were repatriated to Romania and were later brought to Palestine by ship in 1944/1945.
Does anybody out there have knowledge of this rescue operation? We are very much looking forward to receiving your comments!
