Access to Czech Vital Records #austria-czech

E. Randol Schoenberg
 

The Austrian records have at least been filmed by the FHL, but so far none
of our Czech records. Is anyone aware of any efforts to rectify this and
permit the FHL to copy Czech vital records?

I do not know why we are suddenly talking about the IKW, which is an industrial
trade association dealing with soaps, detergents and cosmetics etc:

IKW Industrieverband Korperpflege- und Waschmittel e.V.
German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association (IKW)

The correct term is IKG = Israelitische Kultusgemeinde:

http://www.ikg-wien.at/

BTW, as far as I know only the Vienna vital records ie BMD, were in
control/duplicate form, so the multitude of others [many topics] must be
originals filmed recently. There are apparently now 551 records available.

As for Peter Lowe's suggestion that it would be cheaper to go to Salt Lake City
- assuming you look at only 450 films and take an hour over each one, that
would require three months or more in a hotel and an eight-hour day. And there
is the air fare and the food as well. There must be a better way, ie free
access to the films at a Centre in Vienna, would be my dream come true. And
should this really be a dream? After all, they are our records and do not
belong to the FHL.

easily (otherwise I could not have done it) and it converts long, confusing

For example:

The films of the "primary" records held at the IKG are in the same
record of the Family History Library catalog (referenced in several
recent messages). The first 111 entries are the films of the copies in
the City Archives. Then there is a comment "Andere Verfilmung, 2004".
Following these are the films of the original IKG registers, beginning
with film number 2203448.

Need synopsis of a document from Belarus written in Spanish #belarus

Joyce Oshrin <joshrin@...>
 

Need synopsis of a document >from Belarus written in Spanish
This Spring a relative (who was born in Domachevo and left when he was 9)
revisited Domachevo. He came back with many pages in Russian pertaining to
the town. When WW2 ended, Stalin ordered every town in Russia to write a
report of what happened to the town while the Nazis were there and who was
killed etc. He came back with those reports but they are in Russian. It's
not Old Russian but I can't translate it. I do have all the pages on a CD.
Could someone read it and tell me what it says?
The other pages that he brought back and sent to me was about 40+ pages of
a book written by a Domachevo survivor. It tells the entire history of Domachevo, plus the
war years, etc.It has many names in it. It was in Russian. I told him I
couldn't read Russian so he said he'd get it translated for me. I received
the translation a few weeks ago but it's in Spanish.I can't read Spanish
either. I'm going to put the pages on a CD in tiff. form. Could someone
read it (and not
translate it) and just give me the gist of the contents if I sent them the
CD? Tell me what it says about the names mentioned?

Re: Bessarabia vs Bazar #general

Naomi Fatouros
 

I did a quick google search to look for possibilities
for Channah inquiry concerning "Bazar" and its
whereabouts.
I turned up one site which said that a place called "
"Novi Bazar" which is a strip lying between Serbia and
Montenegro. See:

http://www.bartleby.com/67/1108.html

and another site which talked about the town of
Jaslowiec, known as "Armenian town" and its
inhabitants who would hold large trade fairs in a
nearby village with the "tell tale" name "Bazar." See:

http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/w/x/wxk116/sjk/jazch4.html

Whether either of these places(if they are separate
places) were inhabited by Jews, I did not investigate,
but given the fact that many Jews were engaged in
peddling and trading I would expect that they would
have had connections with either or both of these
places.

Sokiryany's shochet #ukraine

Hi all,
I learned today after talking personally with Michael Stivelman, who
was born in Sokiryany and emigrated to Brazil at the age of 13, that
mentioning "Schechtman" alone is not the same thing as mentioning
"Moishe Shochet", Z"L, as my great-grandfather >from there. For anyone
who have lived there and heard about him, please share with me what
you've heard, privately.

=====I believe this isn't accurate.
Golda Meir was sent to Moscow not in 1953 but in September 1948 and stayed there
until April 1949. Soviet Russia was one of the first countries to recognize
Israel so they exchanged ambassadors. Stalin did not break off diplomatic
relations with Israel as a result of the gathering of thousands of Moscow Jews
outside the Great Synagogue during Rosh Hashana services in 1948 just to see
Golda Meir. At that point in time he chose to do something much more cruel: the
Yiddish theater in Moscow, Yiddish newspapers, the Yiddish publishing house
"Emes" were all closed down a couple of months later; the brilliant actor
Salomon Mikhoels was murdered, eminent Yiddish writers as Dovid Bergelson,
Peretz Markish, Der Nister, Yitsik Fefer and others were accused of pro-Israel
sympathies, jailed, "tried", and executed. He made Russian Jewry pay the price
for the interest they had taken in Israel.
