Isaac Ochberg was terribly stressed by being limited to so few, desperately needy orphans. But thank goodness for Argentina, a relatively underdeveloped country that you noted was encouraging immigration.

But one sister, Faigel, who had been in hospital when Ochberg arrived, was lost. It took years of seeking but in 1971, after being assisted by the Red Cross, the search for the lost sister was finally over. She was in Buenos Aires, alive and married with children and grandchildren.<br /><br />The South African sisters travelled to Buenos Aires and finally reunited with Faigel. Sadly Faigel died not long after meeting her siblings, but now the grandchildren of the five original orphans are still in contact.Paula Slierhttps://www.jpost.com/Jerusalem-Report/My-Isaac-Ochberg-story-How-I-found-long-lost-family-in-Argentina-591025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-17701032893146857932011-08-04T17:02:07.814+10:002011-08-04T17:02:07.814+10:00HI,

But sometimes stories just fall in my lap. <br /><br />I was having afternoon tea with South African friends who emigrated to Australia 20 years ago. We were talking about Making A Difference in the world and both of them mentioned Isaac Ochberg. So I whipped out a tram ticket and made some quick notes on the back!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-23129473404489441052011-07-17T00:06:31.754+10:002011-07-17T00:06:31.754+10:00A very moving story.

But it seems reasonable to assume that after November 1917, any group who had ever opposed the Bolsheviks merged in an unholy and ugly alliance: monarchists, the old army, the church and many foreign nations. What a nightmare :(<br /><br />Civil war is always the worst type of war, I think. It is always the civilians who pay the price, especially the children.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-7479062059044027242011-07-16T21:13:22.869+10:002011-07-16T21:13:22.869+10:00I'm SO glad your post and the forthcoming cere...I'm SO glad your post and the forthcoming ceremony remembers real hero's like Isaac.

I don't remember any of the children back at school in the 1950s saying their parents had been Ochberg Orphans.<br /><br />In the last 10 years, all this has changed. Emails seeking the children of the original orphans have been sent to all ex-pats in Australia, and films and books have been published. You can even find the 1921 list of names in "Tracing the Tribe: The Jewish Genealogy Blog", April 2010.<br /><br />This is a great story.ex-patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-56294757135166560042011-07-16T14:13:54.812+10:002011-07-16T14:13:54.812+10:00I don't even know what to say - happy that he ...I don't even know what to say - happy that he managed to save the children he did save, but overwhelmed again by our cruelty to each other.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139508470517226199noreply@blogger.com
