Back in February, Garry Mokotoff sent the Warszawa Research Group the
following: "From: Gary Mokotoff - Optimum [mailto:mokotoff@optonline.net]=20 In 1997 I went to Warsaw and one of the sites I visited looking for documentation of Mokotow relatives was the archives of the University of Warsaw. At that time, they were in the process of computerizing the = names of every student who attended the University >from about 1915 to the = present. The only Mokotow in the database was a Riwka Mokotow. =20 The information they have in their archives can be very valuable. It includes the application for admission which includes such information = as address and names of parents. It also included a picture of the student. Many of their Jewish students were murdered in the Holocaust and the = picture may be the only surviving portrait of the person. I doubt if they would respond to mail inquiries, but if you are going to Warsaw, it might be worth a stop at the archives. The lookups are quick because it is computerized. (I seem to recall they even had wildcard = search capability.)" I note that the University of Warsaw has a pretty slick - and English-language - website at = http://www.uw.edu.pl/uw_new/eng/index.shtml There are email addresses aplenty for all sorts of departments, = including the Preservation and Conservation Department of the Library.
