Rosalia Freudman received a Curacao visa on July 8
Among the visa images sent by Paul Freudman is this one for Rosalia Freudmann, the wife of his cousin Heinrich Freudmann. This is significant because it is the earliest Dutch Curacao visa we have seen, issued on July 8,1940.
This will be followed by the issuance of Gissot visas to Heinrich and Rosalia for travel to Portugal signed three days later, on July 11. For unknown reasons, these are the second pair of Gissot visas obtained by the Freudmanns, the first having been issued on June 24, the last day of Sousa Mendes' visa-writing campaign. Paul does not know why they didn't use the first visas, and needed a second set two weeks later.
With this one we can see that she used it to obtain a Spanish transit visa and that she departed Perpignan on July 16 and crossed into Portugal on July 23. The seven days of elapsed time in Spain, even longer than the Ringels' five days on the same route, remains as a puzzle.
