The Rendezvous
“Good to see you. Come and sit down. My wife has left coffee for us and some of her excellent chocolate cake.’ Jacob Hoffmeyer was in his sixties; he ran a flourishing export business in the centre of Buenos Aires and he and his family had settled in the Argentine in the late 1930s, during the Nazi persecution. He had arrived with nothing, but the fanatical capacity for work which made his race so many enemies had resulted in a thriving business and a large house in the prosperous suburban area ...of the city. Jacob and his wife and their five year old daughter had left Germany in time. Every relative on both sides of their family who stayed behind in the hope that things would settle down, went to the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Jacob had established this personally when he returned to Germany after the war. He had searched for them all; his parents who were old when he left, his wife’s relations, three brothers with their wives and children, and some cousins, his wife’s widowed mother and sister – they had all been taken and they were all dead.MoreLess
