I have found a possible cousin-in-law, Olga

1949 issue of The London Gazette. The page
appears to list the names and occupations of
refugees and/or displaced persons living in
post-war London. Her husband, Sigmund, was murdered in the Holocaust.

Is there someone who knows the purpose of The London Gazette?

Thank you.

It is the "Official Pub;lic Record" organ in the UK

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/about

The Gazette is formally the combination of three
publications: The London Gazette, The Belfast
Gazette and The Edinburgh Gazette. The Gazettes
are official journals of record.

As a publication, The Gazette consists largely of
statutory notices. This means that there is some
legal requirement for the notice placer to
advertise an event or proposal in The Gazette.
