It seems you are right about the „Volendam“. I just had this card of a Mennonite refugee with the same details of departure (date, destination…) more details about the Volendam and her meaning as for Mennonite emigrants: > [@\[Auswandererkartei Bremen (International Refugee Organization-Kartei)\] do\_muZ3oJgX81okk1k4HBDqe](https://talk.arolsen-archives.org/t/auswandererkartei-bremen-international-refugee-organization-kartei-do-muz3ojgx81okk1k4hbdqe/14612/2): > > ship should read „Volendam“ After WWII the steamer was also used to transport Mennonite refugees from Europe to South America. One of the transports " […] by the Volendam was in October 1948, that of a group of 751 West Prussian and Galician Mennonites (the Danzig Refugees) for Montevideo, Uruguay, and a num­ber of Mennonites from Russia, who intended to go to Paraguay, and who disembarked in Buenos Aires." (quote from [source](https://gameo.org/index.php?title=Volendam), emphasis mine) The „Volendam“ left Bremerhaven on 06. or 07.10.194… As for the date of departure: I read 6 oct. 1948 (in „my“ card). Also see Mrs Feldmanis’ date of arrival: 02.10.1948 Maybe this is her in the passenger list of the „Volendam“, arriving in Argentina on 28.10.1948: FELDMANIS- SZARMANS, Elizabete, 42 y (in 1948) next to her name: FELDMANIS, Alksejs (12 y), maybe her daughter/ relative? the name crossed out in this card?
