107 In 1926, a pregnant Aimée Azoulai had a dream about uncle Meir who had raised her husband Saleh Ambar. She decided the next morning that if she had a son, he would be named Mayer. A few months later Mayer was born in Cairo at the family's apartment on Abdel Aziz Street #11 (last floor), with the help of the same midwife that gave birth to all of Aimée's children: Nazli Wahba.

Young Mayer Ambar studied at the French School in Cairo where he learned French and Arabic. He then studied journalism at the American University of Cairo. Midway through his university studies, Mayer decided to drop out and move to the New World. While he awaited his visa to the United States, he came across the book "Brasil, País do Futuro" authored by Stephan Zweig and decided that is where he would go.

In 1946, at 20 years of age, Mayer arrived in Rio de Janeiro and moved into a room in Copacabana he rented from Mrs. Zilpa Lipiani, with whom he remained friends until her death in 1994. He took a job at the Pan American airlines and Panair do Brasil, where he worked for 11 years. For the first 5 of those years, Mayer also worked a night job at Radiobrás, where he was an international telegram operator - a job suited for him given that he could speak 6 languages. In 1957, Mayer left Panair do Brasil and founded his own travel agency. He named his company Bel Air Viagens and worked there until his death in February, 1994.

In the late 1940s, Mayer's mother learned that a woman who lived in Brazil was visiting Egypt. Her name was Fortunée Harari and Aimée immediately traveled to track her down and inquire about the country where her son Mayer had emigrated to. At the end of the conversation, Aimée made Fortunée promise that she would try to locate Mayer upon her return to Rio de Janeiro and make sure that he was taken care of. Incredibly, not long after Fortunée returned, Mayer was invited to dine at the Harari household by Fortunée's brother, Simon Harari. That evening Mayer met not only Fortunée, but also her daughter Marie Dayé! Mayer and Marie maried in October 1951 and Fortunée more than fulfilled her promise to Aimée!

Mayer was a very charismatic man and all who knew him had great admiration and respect for him. From a young age, he developed a profound sensibility to music - especially classical music which moved him greatly and which he played on the piano. He also enjoyed reading and was a very cultured man.

113 In school, the nuns who educated Rita decided that Rita was not a serious enough name (despite the fact that there was a saint named Rita) and gave her the name Henriette Ambar. So during her school years, Rita was known as Henriette Ambar.

In her youth, Rita was very involved with movements and together with friends she started an organization to distribute medicine to poorer members of the jewish neighborhoods of Cairo. When she was about 17, a doorman suspected Rita of being involved in a sionist movement based on the number of jewish people that visited her in their apartment. When the police arrived, they found Rita reading a book by English statesman D'Israeli and they aprehended her and put her in jail for the night. The next morning, Rita's mother, Aimée, was able to free Rita from jail by explaining to the policemen that Rita played tennis at the Heliopolis Club with a relation to the generals of Egypt. They quickly regretted improsning Rita for reading an English book and freed her.

116 Joseph was born in Ostrowiec, Poland, into a hasidic family. His Hebrew studies commenced at the chaider when he was only 3 years old. Later in his childhood Joseph learned Polish at a local primary school and under private tutelage he studied Yiddish in the evenings. Joseph's curiosity and passion for reading led him to question his father's hasidic customs and he adopted a more progressive stance towards religion as a young adult.

When World War II broke Joseph left for Russia, but he did not adapt to life there and soon opted to return to his hometown where he found work at a forge. Joseph and his family managed to evade the first deportation of jews to Treblinka, but in 1941 his mother fell ill with typhoid and passed away.

Joseph was taken to Auschwitz in 1944, where he pretended to have experience as an aviation engineer (prisoner number B4880). The following year he was forced to march for 7 days and 7 nights to transfer to Mathausen. Finally he was taken to Gusen II (St. Georgen) in Austria where he was liberated by the Americans on May 5, 1945.

After spending a few months in Austria recovering, Joseph traveled to Italy with the intent of migrating to Israel. While there he discovered that one of his sisters had also survived the war and so he changed his plans and returned to Poland to visit her. It proved to be a fortunate decision, for in Poland not only did Joseph reconnect with his sister, he also met his sister's fellow Auschwitz survivor, Golda Borenztain, with whom he married in 1946.

Joseph had three brothers who had traveled early to Brazil to escape the ordeals of the war and so the newly weds decided to cross the Atlantic ocean to join them. While awaiting their travel documents in Munich the couple had twin babies, Yehuda (Julio) and Chawa (Eva), and the family arrived in Rio de Janeiro in 1949.

In his first year in Brazil, Joseph worked as a traveling salesman despite not knowing a word of Portuguese. Eventually he established himself as seller of bicycle parts and accessories, a job he performed until his retirment in 1982.

Joseph passed away in Rio de Janeiro in 2011.

FYI: during WWII Joseph lived / was admitted to the following: Ostrowiec Ghetto (Kielce/ Poland); Mauthausen KZ (Austria); St. Georgen KZ (Austria); Starachowice KZ (Poland); Auschwitz II-Birkenau Death Camp (Poland); and Ostrowiec KZ (Kielce/ Poland)
FYI2: Joseph was born in March 1918. Brazilian documents state May 1918 out of a miscommunication at immigration.

132 Marcos Dayé was born in Cairo into the Choueke family (also spelled Choueka or Chweka), who likely emigrated from Aleppo, Syria. Legend goes that a Choueke relative was a local midwife, and because midwife is pronounced "Daya" in Arabic [or is it Hebrew?] neighbors began referring to their household as the Daya's home. Old religious registries of Aleppo circumcisions and weddings record a number of events of a Choueka Dayah family from the mid 1800s.*

When Marcos turned 13, his father (Ibrahim Choueke) placed Marcos under the tutelage of a local goldsmith so that Marcos would learn the profession. A couple of years later, Marcos decided to leave Egypt and migrate to Panama with one of his older brothers, David, and their good friend, Michel Levy. During the next 10 years, the brothers worked together in Panama as street salesmen and visited many other countries in South, Central and North America. During their travels the brothers adopted the more Western sounding surname, Dayé.

Marcos eventually became a citizen of Panama and his naturalization certificate, dated 1916, was signed by the then President of Panama, Belisario Porras Barahona. With the citizenship in hands and some money saved, the brothers and their friend decided it was time to return to Cairo to search for wives. David married Zafira Levy, sister of their travel companion Michel Levy. As for Marcos, he spotted Fortunée Harari while travelling in a tram in Cairo and fell in love at first sight. Marcos and Fortunée married in Cairo around 1920 and had their first two children while living in Egypt.

In 1924 first two children to Recife, Brazil. They lived in Recife for 7 years, during which period Marcos worked in textiles and Fortunée gave birth to another four children. Due to financial difficulties, the couple moved to São Paulo in 1931, eventually re-settling in Rio de Janeiro in 1938.

In 1942, when the first deportation of jews to Treblinka occured, a part of the Borenztain family managed to evade capture by hiding in a basement.
