I received an Email notice with details of the LBI fall program today.
For more about "The World of Aufbau" see the footnote below and also: https://tinyurl.com/y3ktv7ya "Aufbau"a German-language weekly published in New York and circulated worldwide was an essential platform for the generation of refugees from Hitler and the displaced people and concentration camp survivorswho arrived in the United States after the war. The publication served to link thousands of readers looking for friends and loved ones in every part of the world. In its pages Aufbau focused on concerns that strongly impacted this community in the aftermath of World War II." GerSIG volunteers have extracted birth, marriage, death and other data from personal ads in the Aufbau. These data are searchable viaa link at the GerSIG website: http://www.calzareth.com/aufbau/search.html There is also a data file at JewishGen created by Peter Lande: "More than 33,000 Holocaust survivors, published in the German-language newspaper Aufbau, New York, 1944-1946."
