Dear Compatriots,
This is an answer to those who mentioned the Romanian citizenship.
If I were younger and had the drive of years past, I could write a short story
about my experiences with the Romanian Authorities.
At this stage, I will just synopsize it in a few paragraphs.
It started about 8 years ago, when I first applied to the Romanian
embassy in Washington .( $70.00) I sent them copies of my Israeli, my Colombian
and American passports, all of them stating that I was born in Romania.
Moreover, my book has been published in Bucharest with the title: “Timpul
Lacrimilor Secate, to the launching of which I went to Bucharest. I have been
interviewed by the National Television and mentioned in the newspaper.
I had the list of the repatriated orphans from Transnistria, a signed receipt
of some money my relatives from Czernowitz sent me to Bershad, and other proofs.
What I was missing was my Birth Certificate, which could not be found in any
of the archives. And this was their excuse to reject my request.
I had many extensive conversations with the Ambassador and his aids in
Washington, all of whom were very polite and friendly, but no results.
When, about a year ago, I approached the Consulate in Miami where I
was asked to do a zillion of errands, some of which were quite costly, I just
gave up.
Now, I hope that the Austrian authorities will be more empathic and grant me
my wish.
With warm regards,
Ruth
