Thanks to the recent disclosures >from Copenhagen (Kleinwaks
website, http://genealogyindexer.org, has a search engine that identifies information in more than 551,000 pages of historical directories (business, address, telephone, etc., mostly >from Central and Eastern Europe), 71,000 pages of 155 yizkor books (memorials to Jewish communities destroyed in the Holocaust), ...) I have been able to verify that my maternal great grandfather lived at 17 Nowy Swiat. Thanks to the hard work of Claire Hisler Shefftz in translating her father's writings, I know that one of the survivors of Kolomea, Avram, son of Izrael TERNER, lived at 17 Nowy Swiat. I now know that the son of my grandmother's brother survived the Holocaust. This is a mitzvah! This gives me hope that I might find a descendant of his. Shelley Mitchell searching for MOLDAUER, TERNER, KONIGSBERG, TOPF, GOLDSCHEIN in Kolomea, Buczacz, Monastryzyska and nearby. |
