Hi Czernowitz-L!
This is my very first inquiry and I am excited to be a part of this list.
My 2x great-uncle Karl/Karol BINDER (1905-1983) and his sister Berta
BINDER (1908-1987) of Czernowitz emigrated to Israel after World War
II. Karl was married to fellow Czernowitzian Yetti WEIDBERG
(1905-1969). Karl was born on 2 Sep 1905, and Berta on either 7 Jan or
18 Jan 1908. Israeli records indicate that Karl arrived in Israel in
1958 and Berta in 1950.
Recently, I came across a few sources on Ancestry.com and JewishGen
that might relate to my family's Karl and Berta BINDER but there are
some curious elements about them that make me wonder if the names and
places are just coincidences.
- The first set of documents are JDC index cards for a Berta BINDER,
"husband" Karl BINDER, and "daughter" Regina BINDER traveling from
Vienna, Austria to Paraguay in 1948. Berta is listed as being from
Czernowitz. I started speculating that Berta posed as Karl's wife to
expedite the emigration process and that the two went to Paraguay
before ultimately settling in Israel. However, the birthdates for
Berta and Karl do not match up to those of my ancestors, and "my" Karl
had no children that I am aware of. The cards are attached.
- I then found someone named Yetti BINDER living in Czernowitz in 1943
in USHMM's Holocaust Records from Romanian Occupation, 1941-1944 (also
attached), which suggests that Yetti WEIDBERG and Karl were already
married at that time.
- Finally, I located a grave for a Regina WENDER in Czernowitz
cemetery, where all but the base is gone. See
https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/cemetery/jowbr.php?rec=J_BUCOVINA_0031827.
I would like to try to find out if Karl and Berta first moved to
Paraguay before emigrating to Israel and if Regina was one of their
daughters. Does anyone have suggestions for how I can solve this
mystery?
Thank you for your time,
Jonah Belser
