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

Re: Cosmos [sic] restaurant in NW London in the early 1940s new SITE CITE

Dennis Aron <dennisaron@...>
"The List" by Martin Fletcher (his parents were an Austrian refugee
couple named Fleischer) tells the story of German speaking refugees in this time frame. I don't recall for sure whether Cosmo is mentioned, but I think so. I wrote a short review of it which includes a link to a very interesting brochure given to refugees by England's Jewish community entitled "While you are in England HELPFUL INFORMATION and Guidance FOR EVERY REFUGEE". Here is the review: https://dennisaron.blogspot.com/2015/06/review-of-list-by-martin-fletcher.html Dennis Aron, Skokie, IL <dennisaron@...> Researching families listed here: http://dennisaron.blogspot.com/2013/12/genealogy-research-interests.html

Ukraine SIG Update
#ukraine
Janette Silverman
Dear Friends:
Many thanks to Moshe Kutten and Stella Saperstein for their work on Nikolayev vital records >from microfilms 2423960 and 242361. Alex Kopelberg has been hard at work with Zhitomir marriage transcriptions. Marriages >from 1854 and 1855 are in the pipeline for the next stage of processing. Yoni Kupchik has been working on Balta births for 1882-1884, 1886, 1887 and 1892. They have recently submitted many thousands of lines of transcriptions of records. It will probably be 12-18 months before final processing is completed and the data is available for searching. I hope to have the above submitted to JewishGen for the next stage of processing by the end of this quarter. I had hoped to begin working on revision lists but I think that those will be worked on during the second quarter. Please do not email me with questions about progress of these projects or contents of the databases. Updates to the progress will be noted on the townpages. I wanted to just provide a heads up on a new project on which Ukraine SIG is working on with FamilySearch and which will benefit those whose families were in Odessa in 1897. There are 67,000 pages of the 1897 census. We are currently reviewing it to identify those pages and sections on which Jewish families were enumerated. When that initial review is completed, we will be asking for volunteers to work on the translation/transcription of the census. Those who make a donation of $100 or more to the Odessa Document Acquisition and Translation Project will be able to receive the spreadsheets with the translation/transcription before it is available on the JewishGen databases. Once the translation/transcription is completed, it often takes a year or more before data has finished being processed and formatted and becomes widely available. Please do not email me with questions about progress of the project or contents of the census. Updates to the progress will be noted on the townpage. Thanks to town leaders, Ariel Parkansky and Yoni Kupchik and to Harvey Kabaker who has been instrumental in the digitization >from FHL microfilms. We are excited about this first cooperative venture with FamilySearch and hope it will be the first of many.

Yad Vashem Identifies Teenager Whose Pendant Was Found at Sobibor
#germany
Jan Meisels Allen
On this International Holocaust Memorial Day it is appropriate to share with
you a story published by the Claims Conference of a pendant discovered at the Sobibor death camp excavation camp and through the Yad Vashem database identified the teenage owner. The story is of Karoline Cohn born in Frankfurt on July 3, 1929?and her parents had a necklace made with the words "Mazel tov" and her birthdate on one side and the Hebrew letter "hey" on the other. The pendant was found buried under the ruins of a hut at the Sobibor death camp in the area where women undressed and had their heads shaved before going to the gas chamber. The Nazi deportation and transport lists database at Yad Vashem was the reason researchers were able to identify the owner of the pendant. The fact that the pendant had the word "Frankfurt" engraved under the date was the clue for researchers to look through that specific database. To learn more about this specific database go to: http://db.yadvashem.org/deportation/page.html?language=en The database showed that the Cohn family was put on a transport to the Minsk ghetto in November 1941, the ghetto was liquidated in 1943 and the remaining Jews were sent to Sobibor. It is not known whether Karoline was at Sobibor and dropped it or whether someone else had the pendant who was at Sobibor. The pendant is identical to one Anne Frank had?except for the date. The Claims Conference funded the filming of the Sobibor excavation which led to the discovery of the camp's gas chambers. To click on the link for the video and read more about this discovery see: http://www.claimscon.org/what-we-do/allocations/red/documentation/sobibor-pendant/ There is also a video on how the pendant was identified. There is a Page of Testimony submitted about Karoline at Yad Vashem. If you have not yet submitted a Page of Testimony for your family or friends this is the appropriate time to memorialize your Holocaust victims. To submit a page of testimony go to: http://yvng.yadvashem.org/index.html?language=en The Claims Conference was created after World War ll to help with material Indemnity for those who suffered as a result of Nazi's actions against Jews. They negotiated with German government?and Israel also signed the agreement. To learn more about the Claims Conference see: http://www.claimscon.org/ Thank you to Carol Shkolnik, Columbus (Ohio) Jewish Historical Society and member IAJGS Membership Development Committee for sharing the Claims Conference article with us.

75 years Wannsee Conference
#germany

The 75th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 2017
passed almost unnoticed, The systematic killing of Jews had started before the Conference : - Aktion T4 (Euthanasia) began in Autumn 1939 , - Wagner -Buerckel Aktion (Deportation of 7.000 Jews of Baden to Gurs) took place in Ocotber 1940 (Sukkot) and - the deportation of Jews all over Germany and territories attached to the Reich started mid October 1941.. After German armed forces invaded the USSR on June 22, 1941 (Barbarossa) tens of thousands of Jews were massacred at sites such as Babi Yar (outside Kiev), Rumbula Forest (outside Riga), and Panerai (outside Vilnius), On January 20th, 1942 SS Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich summoned up 13 Officials and functionaries of Nazi organizations and ministries to a meeting in the outskirts of Berlin Adolf Eichmann was the Secretary of the Conference. The purpose of this meeting was to present the basics for organizing the deportation of Jews of Europe to be exterminated in the East and to ensure it's logistical network. The term "Wannseekonferenz", was only coined after the end of the Second World War, http://www.dw.com/en/wannsee-conference-screenplay-for-the-holocaust/a-37197330 http://tinyurl.com/hthlvw4 http://www.dpa-international.com/topic/urn:newsml:dpa.com:20090101:170117-99-908359/amp Yvonne Stern, Rio de Janeiro yvonne.stern17@...

unused American visas?

I believe there is a chance that my mother's family may have been issued visas to come to the US, but did not use them, possibly due to my grandfather suffering disabling injuries during the 30 days he spent at Buchenwald after being arrested during Krystallnacht. I believe they were seeking visas >from an office in Stuttgart and if I am correct, the visas would have been issued there. Has anyone had experience in finding information on unused American visas?
