For one reason or the other the Cuban courts had freed them. This situation went on until the government decided to expel them. On October first 1932 both were placed on the Holand American Line Steam vessel Leederman, which took them to Holand. Dora Vainstock was only out of Cuba for a few months. As soon as she arrived in Europe she went to Paris. In Paris she obtained a irregular Cuban passport which she obtained through the “cultivation” of sexual intimacy with the son of an important person in the Machado cabinet (other sources mention Ricardo Herrera, former secretary of state and then Minister, e.g. Ambassador of Cuba in Paris) She left for Cuba arriving in March of 1933 (before Machado fell). Fabio Grobart remained out of Cuba until after Machado was forced to leave Cuba. |
