Event Note
On May 18, 1940, Pencho פנצ'ו sailed from Bratislava down the Danube River, carrying 514 passengers, mostly Betar members, including a group of 101 passengers who boarded in Yugoslavia, who had been released from Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald concentration camps on the condition that they never return.
Yehuda Bauer cites: "In July, 1940, another Revisionist ship, the Pencho, was moving along the Danube. with no money and less chance to cross the Mediterranean. The passengers had paid £13,000 ($42,000) to organizers, who then abandoned them to their fate. Among the refugees were some of the the leaders of Zionist organizations in Germany and Czechoslovakia." On September 21, 1940, Pencho פנצ'ו, after making some repairs to the paddle wheel, sailed from Sulina, without a radio, without a transmitter and without welding equipment, was allowed to sail to the Black Sea.
John Birman cites: At the start of the journey, sailing along the Danube River and through the Aegean Sea, Imrich 'Imi' Lichtenfeld jumped into the water several times to save passengers who had fallen overboard or to retrieve bags of food, which was in short supply. |
