Mantello grew up in a small town in Romania, and later moved to Budapest, where his business connection resulted in his friendship with a Salvadoran diplomat. They produced and distributed thousands of Salvadoran citizenship papers. He also printed 'official' certificates of citizenship which he sent back to occupied Europe by underground Jewish courier. He created certificates for the Jewish social service network responsible for educating, hiding and rescuing thousands of Jewish children in France
