Conclusions and Thoughts

Understading what was going on is an ongoing process, and there is still much to be found out.

Why we think all children of Lejzor and Chuma were born in Ostrowiec and not in Ozarow

Facts:

• Their first 3 children are written to be born in Ostrowiec.
• Their last 3 children are written to be born in Ozarow.
• Icek never mention to Chalo (Haim) the name Ozarow
• Icek pointed to Ostrowiec in Yad Vashem wall, even though Ozarow also appears on the wall.
• We know that Lejzor died in Ostrowiec.
• Jaroslaw said that sometimes the official place of residence ("Permanent Residence") was not the same as the real place of residence.
  • He said that some people have never been to their official place of residence ("Permanent Residence").
  • This official place of residence ("Permanent Residence") probably means the family came from there (maybe a few generations back)
  • They might have written the last 3 children as born in Ozarow just because it was the official place of residence ("Permanent Residence") and not because they were actually born there.

Therefore:

• We assume that the whole family was born in Ostrowiec, and Ozarow was just the official place of residence ("Pernament Residence")

Icek and Sarah journey to Costa Rica

• We have 5 documents regarding the journey:
  1. AJDC Munich Emigr. Dept.-Icek Flikier Mirelis.jpg
     • Probably an approval from the Joint to leave to Costa Rica from the date of June 20, 1946
  2. A.E.F. D.P. Registration record - <X>.png
     • The date of the document is June 19, 1946.
     • It seems to be saying that in July 1, 1946 they were sent to Paris.
  3. Visa to Icek Flikier to enter Brazil.jpg
     • It seems to be a visa to enter Brazil given in Paris in August 30, 1946.
     • For a passport given on July 24, 1946.
  4. Arrivimg passengers at Puerto Rico-Ancestry.jpg
     • The seem to be on a flight that goes from Buenos Aires to New York with stops, and they intented to leave in Port of Spain (Which is in Trinidad and Tobago)
     • It seems that they boarded the flight in Rio de Janeiro on October 29, 1946.
  5. Ship from Europe to Rio de Janeiro

To be filled.

Why the relationship between Lejzor and Chinda (His first wife) ended

• We think that the relationship between Lejzor and Chinda ended because of a divorce, and not because Chinda died.
  • This is because Chinda died in 1919 and Lejzor had kids with all other wives before 1919.

We do not know exactly when Icek Flikier and Sara Frajnd Nojfeld got married.

• We do know that Sarah left at the beginning of Semptember 1939 (not sure exactly when).
• We do know that they got deported in 18/07/1940.
• We do know that they got married in Lemberg (Sarah told Chalo (Haim))
• So they got married somewhen in those 10 months in Lemberg.

Where Lejzor's children got married

• We think that only David is the son of Lejzor who got married in Poland (should be verified).
• We know that Berek (Bernardo) got married in Colombia.

Did Lejzor die in the Holocaust?

No. We found out in this research that Lejzor died in 1930.

When Zelman Flikier (grandfather of Lejzor) died?

• We don't have any certificate for Zelman.
• But, his son Berek had a son called Zelman-Icek in 1858, which is probably called after his grandfather.
  • Jewish people gave name after grandfather only after death.
  • Meaning Zelman died before 1858.
