Re: FINKEL / FINKLE family in Philadelphia
#usa
boris
Thank you, Dani,
One of the 1930's naturalization documents stated Romania/Bessarabia as a place of origin.
Since Finkel/variants was a common name, positively identifying a family will always be a tough case. I've seen several census records of a decidedly different Finkel family with almost all the same daughters. Perhaps, they were cousins. This family, headed by Joseph and Sarah (ne Akselrod), had five daughters and one son Morris. In one census, however, the man is listed as Morris (of Joseph's age), his wife as Sarah, followed by the same daughters. Aren't we creative people?

Alberto, the card is printed in Spanish and there are no marks of the Post office handling it. It looks to me that it was hand written in Argentina and not in Galitzia, and never sent.

Yes, he was instrumental in helping my family members leave Luxembourg after Eichmann invaded the country-and enabled them, with some difficulties on a train ride-to enter Lisbon, where they lived for 1 1/2 years.
In addition, there is currently a wonderful exhibit about him in the Luxembourg National Archives. Milton Koch Behtesda, MD., USA |

Hi Along
It's several years later and I am still seeking information on Eva Chava Greenberg Schwartz. I would like to get a copy of her death record. My main focus is to find out if she had any children and contact them. I know she was born in Hertza dorohoi Romania and that at some point she was living in Israel until her passing in 1997. I would like to bring this mystery to a close. If she is buried in Israel perhaps there would be information from the funeral home. I already have the photo of the tombstone. Any help of advice needed. Sarah Greenberg (USA) sacredsisters1977@... |

It took me about 5 months in 2017, but 2 months of that was waiting for a ceremony at my local Consulate (Toronto).
The process was very smooth. I used a Berlin lawyer to handle it for me. Good luck. |

Re: FINKEL / FINKLE family in Philadelphia
#usa
whitecloud3@...
I truly don't know if this is the same family, but I have Finkels in my family tree. There are a few overlapping names which makes me wonder if there is any possible relation. The ones I have traced were from Russia (Moldova/Ukraine area) and I don't know of any who went to Philadelphia, but I am writing you because Finkel (in my tree) was not their original name. It was Fookelman. I have no idea if that will be helpful or if that was the case with the family you are working on. I also have the name Finkelstein in my tree, which I don't even know if they are related to the Fookelmans. I wish you luck!!

Holocaust-Era Jewish Artifacts Discovered in Nowy Sacz

Jan Meisels Allen
Archaeologists and historians from the History Association of Poland found a Jewish treasure trove when excavating of an old castle in Nowy Sacz known as Tzanz. They found silverware, cups, knives, forks and other items. The valuables were apparently buried there during the course of World War II.
Prior to exhibition in the local museum the items will be further investigated.

Portugal Recognizes Consul who Saved thousands From Holocaust
#holocaust
Jan Meisels Allen
In mid-June 1940 Hitler’s forces were days from completing victory over France. Paris fell on June 14 and a week later an armistice was signed. Portugal's diplomatic corps was under strict instruction from the right-wing Salazar dictatorship that visas should be issued to refugee Jews and stateless people only with express permission from Lisbon. For those thronging Bordeaux's streets hoping to cross into Spain and escape Nazi persecution there was no time to wait.
Aristides de Sousa Mendes (1885-1954) was Portugal’s consul in Bordeaux during World War ll. He supplied Jews with visas that permitted them to escape from advancing German forces. His decision to save the Jews’ lives cost him his diplomatic career under Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar. The foreign ministry in Lisbon began sending cablegrams to Bordeaux, ordering him to desist, amid reports from colleagues that he had "lost his senses".
Spanish authorities declared his visas invalid, but thousands had already made it across the Bidasoa river into Spain's Basque region. Among those who escaped occupied France due to Salazar’s visas include surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, filmmaker King Vidor, members of the Rothschild banking family and the majority of Belgium's future government-in-exile.
The rest of his life was spent in penury.
The Consul had a friendship with Rabbi Chaim Kruger who fled the Nazis from his home in Belgium. Consul Sousa Mendes offered the rabbi and his immediate family safe passage across the Spanish border. Kruger refused the offer, as he could not abandon the thousands of other Jewish refugees in Bordeaux. After days of contemplation, according to Menes’ son. “he strode out of his bedroom, flung open the door to the chancellery, and announced in a loud voice: 'From now on I'm giving everyone visas. There will be no more nationalities, races or religions'."
Estimates of number of transit visas allowing refugees to pass from France into Spain and travel on to Portugal range between 10,000-30,000. On June 9 Parliament’s parliament decided for a monument with his name in the National Pantheon.
In 1966 Yad Vashem recognized him as Righteous Among the Nations.
In 1988 Portuguese parliament posthumously withdraws disciplinary charges against him
Now the Portugal has recognized him.
