JewishGen.org Discussion Group FAQs
What is the JewishGen.org Discussion Group?
The JewishGen.org Discussion Group unites thousands of Jewish genealogical researchers worldwide as they research their family history, search for relatives, and share information, ideas, methods, tips, techniques, and resources. The JewishGen.org Discussion Group makes it easy, quick, and fun, to connect with others around the world.
Is it Secure?
Yes. JewishGen is using a state of the art platform with the most contemporary security standards. JewishGen will never share member information with third parties.
How is the New JewishGen.org Discussion Group better than the old one?
Our old Discussion List platform was woefully antiquated. Among its many challenges: it was not secure, it required messages to be sent in Plain Text, did not support accented characters or languages other than English, could not display links or images, and had archives that were not mobile-friendly.
This new platform that JewishGen is using is a scalable, and sustainable solution, and allows us to engage with JewishGen members throughout the world. It offers a simple and intuitive interface for both members and moderators, more powerful tools, and more secure archives (which are easily accessible on mobile devices, and which also block out personal email addresses to the public).
I am a JewishGen member, why do I have to create a separate account for the Discussion Group?
As we continue to modernize our platform, we are trying to ensure that everything meets contemporary security standards. In the future, we plan hope to have one single sign-in page.
I like how the current lists work. Will I still be able to send/receive emails of posts (and/or digests)?
Yes. In terms of functionality, the group will operate the same for people who like to participate with email. People can still send a message to an email address (in this case, main@groups.JewishGen.org), and receive a daily digest of postings, or individual emails. In addition, Members can also receive a daily summary of topics, and then choose which topics they would like to read about it. However, in addition to email, there is the additional functionality of being able to read/post messages utilizing our online forum (https://groups.jewishgen.org).
Does this new system require plain-text?
No.
Can I post images, accented characters, different colors/font sizes, non-latin characters?
Yes.
Can I categorize a message? For example, if my message is related to Polish, or Ukraine research, can I indicate as such?
Yes! Our new platform allows members to use “Hashtags.” Messages can then be sorted, and searched, based upon how they are categorized. Another advantage is that members can “mute” any conversations they are not interested in, by simply indicating they are not interested in a particular “hashtag.”
Will all posts be archived?
Yes.
Can I still search though old messages?
Yes. All the messages are accessible and searchable going back to 1998.
What if I have questions or need assistance using the new Group?
Send your questions to: support@JewishGen.org
How do I access the Group’s webpage?
Follow this link: https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main
So just to be sure - this new group will allow us to post from our mobile phones, includes images, accented characters, and non-latin characters, and does not require plain text?
Correct!
Will there be any ads or annoying pop-ups?
No.
Will the current guidelines change?
Yes. While posts will be moderated to ensure civility, and that there is nothing posted that is inappropriate (or completely unrelated to genealogy), we will be trying to create an online community of people who regulate themselves, much as they do (very successfully) on Jewish Genealogy Portal on Facebook.
What are the new guidelines?
There are just a few simple rules & guidelines to follow, which you can read here:https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/guidelines
Thank you in advance for contributing to this amazing online community!
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please email support@JewishGen.org.
Sincerely,
The JewishGen.org Team
USHMM collecting self-published Survivor Memoirs and Family Histories
#general
Lewis, Megan
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Library recently launched
a project to collect contemporary self-published Survivor Memoirs and Family Histories. The Library launched this project due to a growing number of Survivors and their family members donating published and self-published testimonies to the Museum. This project has allowed the Library to greatly expand our digital collections. As these are contemporary publications, the Library has been seeking out digital copies to add to our collection as well. With the permissions of the author, the library has been making many of these publications universally available. Those publications can be found through the following link: https://archive.org/details/ushmmsurvivormemoirs . In addition to those publicly available on the web, the Library also has many more of these publications available at on-site at the museum. If you have materials that you would like to donate, in either physical or digital forms, please email the library at digital_library@... .

Yizkor Book Project, January 2019
#belarus
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I am continually touched and heartened by the number of people dedicating their time to advance the Yizkor Book Project. As an example, I recently received a number of messages >from people interested in taking on the coordination of some of our "coordinator-less" Yizkor Book projects, to help move them forward. If you would like to know more about the coordination of a particular Yizkor book, please feel free to contact me and I will explain what is involved, Last month saw several more projects being completed online and they were: - "Memories >from Nowy-Dwor" relating to the community of Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland which was ably coordinated by Debra Michlewitz. - "We Want To Live" which is a book describing the arduous journey of Jewish martyrs across Europe during World War Two. It was kindly donated to us by the author's son - Joshua Rassen. On a further welcome note, once again, the Yizkor Books in Print Project have published another book: "Memorial Book of the Community of Chorzel" on the community of Chorzele, Poland. The remarkable work of the YBIP Project team continues ever onward, month by month. I am also pleased to note that Meir Gover has generously allowed us access to a 520 page Yizkor book he has prepared on the communities of Dlugosiodlo and Poreba Koceby. We have added links in the listings of these communities and, hence this book, in our Translations Index.

Syl GREEN (Sylvan E. GREENWALD)
#general
Barbara Mannlein <bsmannlein@...>
I'm looking for burial data on Sol GREEN (born Sylvan E. GREENWALD).
Syl was born 12 Sep 1901 in NYC and died 3 Jan 1969 at the Las Vegas (Nevada) Convalescent Center. He had been married to Beatrice Kay >from 1933 - 1955. At the time of death he was wed to Virginia Richards Fawcett. Green lived in Reno, Nevada >from 1947 to 1966 when he moved to Las Vegas. During the late 1950s and early 1960s he became well known as a disc jockey especially to "night people" listeners, his program being on the air for some time in the early a.m. I have found several 1-2 line* reports of his death, but have not been able to determine his place of burial. *A funeral will be held Monday at 10:00 AM at Bunker Brothers Mortuary in Las Vegas with Rabbi Aaron S Gold officiating. I have contacted every funeral chapel/mortuary and every cemetery in Las Vegas to no avail. BTW, his brother were Meier Greenwald, 1894 - 1977, and Melville "Spud" Greenwald, a jazz musician, 1897 - 1971. They are equally elusive. I suspect Syl may have been buried in California as his brother Melville lived there in the 1960s. Barbara Mannlein Tucson, Arizona

Shalom,
I am continually touched and heartened by the number of people dedicating their time to advance the Yizkor Book Project. As an example, I recently received a number of messages >from people interested in taking on the coordination of some of our "coordinator-less" Yizkor Book projects, to help move them forward. If you would like to know more about the coordination of a particular Yizkor book, please feel free to contact me and I will explain what is involved, Last month saw several more projects being completed online and they were: - "Memories >from Nowy-Dwor" relating to the community of Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland which was ably coordinated by Debra Michlewitz. - "We Want To Live" which is a book describing the arduous journey of Jewish martyrs across Europe during World War Two. It was kindly donated to us by the author's son - Joshua Rassen. On a further welcome note, once again, the Yizkor Books in Print Project have published another book: "Memorial Book of the Community of Chorzel" on the community of Chorzele, Poland. The remarkable work of the YBIP Project team continues ever onward, month by month. I am also pleased to note that Meir Gover has generously allowed us access to a 520 page Yizkor book he has prepared on the communities of Dlugosiodlo and Poreba Koceby.

Kovno Gubernia was the province of the Russian Empire centered around Kovno (now Kaunas) and comprised many towns and shtetls with Jewish communities large and small.
