dear Sarah, dear Cernowitzer,
on working on my Selma-Biografie I exchanged letters with Eytan Fishman, Vietnam, whose mother Pearl was married to Mordercai Fishman, one of the brothers of Leiser Fichman's father Hersch/Hirsch/Zvi, who lived in Dr. Fechnergasse/later:Strada Odabescu where they had moved to in 1923 only.
Hersch Fichman did very well - he was the main supplier to an oil factory which was owned by a Jew.
Hersch was married to Poyre who was from Hotin and had sisters in Israel.
Leiser was on board the Mefkure, one of the three Turkish steemers (Mefkure, Bulbol, Morina) who tried to take passengers from Konstantinopel to Bosporus.
The Mefkure was raked with fire and sank on the 5th of August 1944 between 1.35 and 1.45 a.m. Five passengers survived: two Polish men Joseph Axelrad (33) and Joseph Bank §(9, young Romanian Hilda Wurmbrand (23)and the couple Ladislaus Fülöp (22) and Wera Fülöp (18) and pregnant.
The captain and his crew left the steemer first - without helping the passengers on the sinking boat.
These facts (and many more details) are given in the historic research: "Die Versenkung der jüdischen Flüchtlingstransporter Struma and Mefkure im Schwarzen Meer. Bernard &Graefe Verlag für Wehrwesen, Frankfurt, 1964".
So Leiser did not die on 29th August (as written in the document of Yad Vashem) - but on 5th August.
Male members of Selma's Hashomer Hazair: Yuda Wasser, Abraham Gimpelmann (who was deported to Siberia in 1940)by the Sowjets.
Kind regards,
Marion
