Hello everyone,

I have a photo of an ancestor dressed in costume, with the following handwritten caption:
"Boeser Buben Ball Februar 1925 Wien"

Boeser Buben translates roughly as "Bad Boys." I have tried searching Google with little
success --- I have found event poster artwork, but no explanation as to the nature of the
event.

There have been identically-named events in very recent years  (the past decade in Berlin
and other German cities), but these events are rather unsavoury in nature, and I find it highly
implausible that my ancestor could have been involved with such gatherings.

Was the 1925 gathering a charity event?  Purim would explain the costume, but the event
was in February, and Purim that year did not fall until March.

I would be grateful for any info (off list) on this odd event.

Thanks,

David

Dear Friends,

Last month, Jewish cemeteries were desecrated or sustained significant
damage throughout the world. Here in the USA, we were dismayed by the
hateful vandalism of cemeteries in Philadelphia, PA, Rochester, NY,
and St. Louis, MO. In addition, 5 tombstones were found toppled in a
Jewish cemetery in Brooklyn, NY, and in Paris, France, an unintentional
traffic accident resulted in the destruction of 13 Jewish graves.
ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN JUST THE MONTH OF MARCH.

JewishGen.org has been fighting this battle for many years, and has a
solution to preserve cemetery records throughout the world,
particularly in places where the Jewish community is dwindling or no
longer exists. JewishGen created a global burial registry which now
contains more than 3 million Jewish burials >from cemeteries in 125
countries throughout the world.

But this is not enough, and we turn to you for assistance. Right now,
as Passover quickly approaches, there are two important ways you can
help ensure that the memory of those who preceded us will never be
forgotten or erased:

If you have a personal connection with the leadership or a member of
any Jewish organization or synagogue, we ask that you consider
immediately approaching them with the request that they view a brief
PowerPoint video created by Nolan Altman, our VP of Data Acquisition.
In this video, he describes how our community, and its friends, can
most effectively respond to the challenge of preserving the precious
information on cemetery headstones now threatened with permanent
destruction. Passover is a very appropriate time to discuss these
issues, and we hope you can help. Here is a link to the video:

Join our efforts to photograph, transcribe and index cemetery
information. In many cases, a cemetery headstone may be the only
surviving record of our ancestors. Click here:

http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/Submit.htm

Our goal is to receive cemetery and burial information which we can
then upload to our website, serving as a permanent memorial and
research tool for future generations wishing to discover and honor
their own Jewish family history. As with all JewishGen databases,
these records will be freely available, and will serve as a memorial
that can never be extinguished.

To demonstrate the importance of JewishGen preserving Jewish burial
information, consider the following:

In the case of the Menorah Park cemetery in Philadelphia, JewishGen
already had the tombstone information in our databases. What if the
stones had been defaced beyond recognition and repair? Due to
JewishGen's efforts, the information will always be available, since
JewishGen serves as a permanent memorial and testament to those who
came before us – despite the physical conditions on the ground.

Jewish cemeteries serve as a bridge between generations. Without
JOWBR's information, many families would lose the connection to their
ancestors within 2-3 generations. How many people know where their
great-great grandparents are buried? But JewishGen fosters a connection
across time and space. Once we have recorded burial information, it is
our goal that it will be available for all future generations.
The Hebrew patronymic names on headstones are incredibly valuable to
genealogists because patronymic names link generations by showing the
name of the deceased and their father.

The symbols and epithets on a tombstone often give guidance as to the
status of the individual during his/her lifetime.

For these reasons, as the holiday of Passover quickly approaches, we
urge you to help us preserve the memory of those who have no one else
to speak for them.

Hello. I am researching my family in London and Dublin and I have hit
a couple of dead ends.

1. My gg grandmother is >from Dublin. We always thought she was born
there but all records that I find (in London and Philadelphia, I have
not found any in Ireland) say she was born in Poland. Is it possible
that she was born in Dublin but as her parents were born in Poland it
was assumed that she was as well? I know many records in Dublin have
been destroyed and I have also been in touch with someone who manages
a Jews in Ireland site, but the records he has for my family are the
ones I provided... so I am looking for additional resources.

2. I am trying to find when my family came >from Poland and moved to
London and Dublin. This would also help me determine where my gg
grandparents were born. I haven't found many alien arrival records
them. Is there a database or other archive to research outside of
JewishGen and ancestry that may have this information?

My gg grandmother (Debbie BENJAMIN) was born around 1862. My gg
grandfather (Philip MYERS) was born (most likely in Poland) in 1860.

Any advice is welcome. Thank you for your help.

Rosanne, I highly recommend The Rembrandt Hotel in the old city.
www.rembrandt.ro/

Alina Buzea is the Hotel Director and will look after your cousin and
friends. After two stays there, she has become a dear friend of mine so
tell your cousin to mention my name.

Shalom,

Each month, I like to bring you up-to-date with all the news and activities
carried out by the Yizkor Book Project over the previous month. This time,
the first piece (or pieces) of good news is that an additional three books
are now completely online:

- Bransk, Poland (Brainsk; Book of Memories) which was completely translated
and kindly donated by Rubin Roy Cobb.
- Gostynin, Poland (Book of Gostynin) which was coordinated by Jessie Klein.
I thank Jessie for her tireless dedication and support which led to the
successful completion of this translation project.
- Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) which was
coordinated by Debra Michlewitz. I thank Debra for her dedication and drive
which allowed us to see the translation of this book completely online.

The other pieces of good news come >from the Yizkor Books in Print Project in
which two new titles were added to our ever-growing list.

- Memorial Book of Brichany, Moldova: It's Jewry in the First Half of Our
Century
- Blood Stained Feathers; My Life Story

For more details of these books and all the other books now available,
please see the link at the end of this message.

I think I need to point out that when we set out upon this publishing
project - the Yizkor Books in Print Project, our thought was that the books
would be sold at the lowest possible price - just sufficient to cover our
printing outlays. Together with the publishing costs, as there are no
royalties associated with these books, this assists us in maintaining a
relatively low price for these unique, hard-cover books which provide access
to information and stories of the communities destroyed in the Holocaust.

As I regularly point out, volunteers are an integral part of our project and

from time to time, we do look for more assistance in specific parts of the

project. For instance, we are presently in search of a volunteer who is
fluent in Hebrew and English, has experience in editing and as willing to
help out in this field. If you meet this description and have some time
available, I would very glad to hear >from you.

Before, providing details of our activities in March, I would like to take
this opportunity to wish you and your families a particularly enjoyable and
memorable Pesach/Passover.

And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out
in the Yizkor Book Project.
