[PW] ? A French Schindler ?

[wendy miller]

hello --

Browsing several genealogy sites gave me no hits for either variant 
of the surname you're seeking but one somewhat similar name came up 
-- Hachille, which unfortunately lead to exactly nowhere.  So, this 
is not an answer but just a suggestion for some possible sources.   I 
found a short  PDF document titled Jewish Rescue Activities in 
Belgium and France by Lucien Steinberg at The Shoah Resource 
Center.  Its bibliography is quite comprehensive and I thought it 
might give some leads.
