Dr. Eleanora Bergman to speak at JRI-Poland Luncheon Aug. 13 #poland

Stanley Diamond
 

JRI-Poland is delighted to announce that Dr. Eleanora
Bergman, Vice Director of the Jewish Historical Institute
(JHI) in Warsaw, will speak at the JRI-Poland luncheon
at the IAJGS conference in New York.

The luncheon will take place at noon on Sunday, August
13. Deadline to sign up for the luncheon is this Friday,
August 4. For those of you who have registered but have
not yet signed up for the luncheon, go to the conference
website at www.jgsny2006.org then click on
"Update Registration" and add the luncheon.

Dr. Bergman will speak on the project to index the more
than 230,000 Survivor Cards at the JHI. These cards
were filled out immediately following World War II by
Jews who were in Poland and registered with the various
Jewish communal organizations then functioning in
Poland. The cards includes town of birth, parents names
and other valuable information.

We had earlier announced that Yale Reisner and
Anna Przybyszewska Drozd of the Ronald S. Lauder
Foundation Genealogy Project at the Jewish Historical
Institute would be speaking at our luncheon, but they
recently announced they will not be coming to the
conference.

We look forward to seeing you at the luncheon on
August 13.

So far I recogise everyone of the mentioned superstitions plus a few
others -
stroking a cat will give you a Katzenkopf
mustnt sew a button on a garment while worn but if you do chew a piece
of cotton.
my dad z"l would tear up his betting slip if he saw a nun on a way to
the bookie !!
I am conscious of them all 60 years later if I defy the "rules"

Sayings are another field ..
Has anyone heard of "Toytele's business" - ie a dead loss
or
You're as clever as "Roch's ferd " - ( Roch's horse )

Expulsion of Jews from Galician front lines to Russia 1915 #general

Barb & Howard
 

The Rohatyn Yiskor book alludes to more than 500 local Jewish males, as
being rounded up, arrested, taken away suspected German spies; they were
suddenly expelled by the Russians >from the forthcoming World War One front
lines battle area in 1915. It is said that more than 200 Rohatyner men died
on the roads of Russia during this period of expulsion until the survivors
began to return to their home area in Galicia in 1917 & 1918.

The Rohatyners were force marched almost 300 miles >from Rohatyn to Kiev;
they were then put on railway wagons and taken to a place called Chembar in
Penza Provence. They were kept in Chembar for several months before being
sent back as far as Tarnopol, which was still then under Russian control.
They languished in Tarnopol on their own recognizance. Every man had to
provide for himself in those difficult times for more than a year until
sometime after the German forces arrived.

Evidently this expulsion occurred all along the full length of the
German/Russian battle lines >from Lithuania to Bessarabia, and not just in
Galicia.

Can anyone advise where to seek more details about this little reported
Jewish Galician expulsion, and those who perished during this episode? Thus
far I have only been able to uncover scant expulsion information. Here in
the Western World the bulk of the available WWI reporting was concentrated
on the Western Front.

However, it's important to know that this phenomenon of vicious
antisemitism became a feature of European Jewish life only with the
advent of the middle ages and the Crusades. (The ancient Roman
persecutions were not due to anti-semitism as such, but simply a
punishment for their defiance of Roman rule.) It was hardly known
prior to medieval times (largely because of the far greater tolerance
of Jews during the heyday slam, which was the western world's most
flourishing culture prior to the middle ages). I mention this
because most of us were misinformed in Hebrew school that
persecution of the Jews had been ongoing pretty much everywhere for
2,000 years ever since the advent of Christianity. This "lachrymose
theory of Jewish history" does not reflect historical truth. But the
period of the Crusades did give a boost to those who wanted to
scapegoat the Jews for religious or other reasons -- and the
phenomenon has persisted ever since.

Request for gravestone translation #general

Schorr, Ronald W <rschorr@...>
 

I have posted a photo of a gravestone on ViewMate
http://data.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=8249

Last year I discovered the burial site of my grandmother in Union Fields
Cemetery in Queens, NY. I was quite surprised at the quality of the
stone because I believe my grandparents are not wealthy (poor, perhaps,
is the word).

I would appreciate if someone would translate the text on the stone. I
know that the first four lines are an acrostic spelling Feiga but what
does the text mean?

Also, if any of this information rings a bell, perhaps you could contact
me.

Please reply directly to :
rwwschorr@...

My grandmother was Fanny Schor (or Schorr). Hebrew name, Feiga. Her
maiden name was Wolfman, daughter of Ephraim and Deborah. She was born
around 1873 and immigrated (>from Galicia?) to the US between 1882 and
1888. The organization associated with the cemetery plot was called
"Shiner Cheves"
Her husband was David Schor (later Schorr), son of Moses and Sarah and
he immigrated >from Galicia around 1895. A wild guess is that his Stetl
was around Sanok/Kanczuga/Przemysl.
