In reply to rick passo. Rick, thanks for the correction. Not having read the book, just finding the site, it didn't specify and a quick online search turned up the Jewish community in Tunisia, so I went with that. It would still be interesting to find out if the Moises Chame buried in the Cementerio Alemán is a descendant of the one who passed through Buenos Aires on his way to Temuco, Chile.

There is a major correction in your information about the Jews of Monastir, where my father was born. This was known as Monastir, Turkey, then Serbia, the Macedonia. It is currently named Bitola, Macedonia.
While there is a Monastir in Tunisia and while there is a historic Jewish population there as well, they are not one and the same.
For more information go to http://www.cassorla.net and to http://www.etzchaimindy.org – a congregation cofounded by my grandparents and paternal relatives.
At the cassorla websites you will find the family trees of many who fled Monastir for Temecula, Chile and other places in Latin and North America as well as Israel.
