I suggest that you contact the Jewish Community of Japan. They have a

Can anyone suggest a means by which I would be able to try to research my great-uncle, Solomon KAFLOWITZ, who moved to Japan in the 1940s or 50's? He married a Japanese woman probably while still living in the United States. They had children, at least one male, or possibly a set of male twins. The family never returned to the United States to live. My great-uncle was born in 1908 in Bialystok, and came to the United States as a very young boy. While he may no longer be alive, it would be interesting to see if the family name still exists in Japan, and ultimately, to attempt contact with his children. Thank you and please respond privately, Barbara Meyers
