Jacob Rosen recently shared news of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's database
of 152,000 Jewish refugees who were in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, c. 1941-1942. More
information and a search engine are available at
<http://resources.ushmm.org/uzbekrefugees/name_list.php#about>.

Digital images of the registration cards -- written in Russian -- are also online.

I found records for my mother's brother, Pinkhas REIFER, and his wife,
Sara BIRKENTHAL. They will be posted on ViewMate

<http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/index.asp> (images VM9604, VM9605)

until Monday, March 19. I would be grateful for translations.

An aside for those with Czernowitz (Chernivtsi) roots: Pinkhas Reifer, also known
as Pinchas FALIK, was later manager of the philharmonic orchestra in that city.
His wife, who used the name Sidi TAL (or THAL), was a popular actress in the
Yiddish theatre.

Please respond privately.

Thank you.
