Shalom,

I was very pleased to meet up with quite a number of people at the IAJGS
conference, particularly at the Yizkor Book BOF meeting, and am happy that I
now have real faces and personalities to go with the many emails that have
passed between us over the years. I'm hoping that the BOF meeting and the
one-on-one meetings that took place during it, will be a catalyst for some
new future Yizkor Book projects.

Last month I proudly announced that the Yizkor Book Project was presented
with a complete translation of "Our town Ternovka; chapters of remembrance
and a monument" and this month, I am also proud to announce that Gregory
Krutoyarsky took on the very welcome initiative of translating this same
book into Russian and this translation is now available online. This
translation definitely goes with our aim of allowing a wider as possible
public to read the Yizkor books online and we do have quite a few
translations available in other languages such as French, Hebrew & Polish
to widen the exposure to these books which contain unique information of the
Jewish communities that existed before the Holocaust.

And further on full books, Jack Ekstein, who is the president of the
Pabianice Landsmanshaft in Melbourne, Australia, has kindly presented the
Yizkor Book Project with an electronic version of the "Pabianice Book" that
his organization has published. The "Pabianice Book" is a full translation
of the original Hebrew and Yiddish Pabianice Yizkor book and the first
sections of this book have now been available online in the Yizkor Book
site. Last month, we also gratefully received a compilation by Bill Liebner
on the Zabrze, Poland community and the first sections of this book are also
now available online. There are now quite a few complete books that we have
been received and we're in the slow process of adding them online, chapter
by chapter, until they too are completely online.

It seems that after every monthly report, I receive messages >from people
saying they have seen a table of contents in a particular Yizkor Book
project but have no option of reading the translations. I regularly explain
that only articles with blue links have translations to go with them and
that where there are no links, this is because no volunteer has stepped
forward to coordinate the translation of the particular book and/or article.
I explain that all the projects in the Yizkor Book site develop with
translations provided by volunteers or financial support >from generous
donors who allow us to carry out the professional translation of these
books. If you see that the community you are interested in has no or few
translations available, I invite you to check if a Translations Fund is
available (link below) or contact myself to see how we can set up a
Translations Fund for the community you are interested in.

Now to facts and figures for July.

Dear Friends,

We are happy to announce the completion of our project. The
"Courland-Kherson Jewish Relocation, 1837-1840" database is
live and public on JewishGen.

Here is this dataset's introductory description file:
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Ukraine/Relocation1837.htm

This database contains information about 5,872 Jews who relocated

from towns in Courland to agricultural colonies in Kherson Gubernia

in 1837 and 1840.

The documents were handwritten in Russian, and reference the years
1837 and 1840. The documents cover all the major towns in Courland
Gubernia â?? Bausk, Friedrichstadt, Gazenpot, Goldingen, Grobin,
Jakobshtat, Libava, Mitava, Pilten, Polangen, Tuckum, and Vindava.
Unfortunately, these documents do not specify to which of the Kherson
colonies these Jews relocated.

These records were photocopied by the Latvian National Archives
(Latvijas Nacionālais Arhčvs) at the request of the JewishGen
Ukraine SIG.

Last month on this discussion list I posted about the French Data Protection
Agency, CNIL, ordering Google to globally "delist" links when requested to
do so by the subject of the link- even when the linked story is true. The
"delinking" according to the CNIL should remove links on all of the search
engines' sites, including those outside of the European Union (EU)-such as
Google.com in the US or Google.ca in Canada or Google.com/au in Australia .
They gave Google 15 days to comply or sanctions would be imposed. France is
the first country to open a potential sanctions process against Google if
its practices are not changed.

Google has refused to comply and is appealing the CNIL ruling. Google does
not agree with the CNIL's assertion of global authority. CNIL has two months
to decide on the appeal. The CNIL says they are looking legally at the issue
while Google is looking at it politically. Google warned applying the
"right to be forgotten" globally would trigger a "race to the bottom" and
the "Internet would only be as free as the world's least free place".
Google believes that "no one country should have the authority to control
what content someone in a second country can access".

al-right.html

Thank you to David Ockene, member of IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring
Committee for informing us about the Google decision.

History

The French ruling stems >from a 2014 EU Court of Justice ruling that European
Union residents could ask search engines such as Google to delete links to
articles that the person felt were out of date, inflammatory, excessive or
irrelevant. According to its transparency report, Google received more than
a quarter of a million removal requests. It has accepted about 41 percent of
them.

This issue has been reported on previously and past postings on the topic of
"right to be forgotten" may be found in the archives of the IAJGS Records
Access Alert. To access the archives go to: access the archives-

http://lists.iajgs.org/mailman/private/records-access-alerts/. You must be
a registered subscriber to access the archives. To register go to:

the instructions to enter your email address, full name and which
JGS/JHS/SIG/JewishGen is your affiliation You will receive an email
response that you have to reply to or the subscription will not be
finalized.

Genealogists are very concerned about the potential loss of access to links
that might help them with researching their family history and the history
of their ancestral towns.
