In 1938 my family, living in Manchester, UK, took in an 10 year boy whose name was Josef Fleischman. His parents ran a successful patisserie shop in Vienna but, in view of the rising antisemitism in the city, they had moved to Caracas, Venezuela, where they established a similar business. A few weeks before the outbreak of WW2, we were able to book a sea passage for Josef. Some years later he joined the Venezuelan air force as a pilot but was very sadly killed in an air accident. He had an elder sister who had moved with her parents to Caracas. Does anyone know anything about this lady?
