  • Notes 
    • According to his nephew Moyses Resnitzky, Benjamin came to Brazil with his parents in 1935, when he was 13. The youngest son, Benjamin was the only child to study in the university, where he became a "communist leader." Because of the strong anti-communist political situation in Brazil in 1952 (and because he was still a Polish citizen), he was jailed and extradited. Instead of going to France, however, Benjamin decided to return to Poland, where he was a radio and tv journalist. Because of the antisemitism there, he went to Viet Nam with the Polish delegation and lived in Saigon during the late 1950's. He later returned to Poland, where for a long time he was Chief of the Radio Warsaw short wave broadcast in Spanish to Latin American countries. He had problems with the Polish Government when the Solidarity movement started and was once close with to Lech Walesa. Although he thought about leaving Poland, his wife Wanda did not agree. After he retired, he gave Iberian Culture lessons at the Warsaw University.
