Hope you don’t mind me chiming in, but the town is Vatra Dornei. The river is
Dorna and I see there’s a hotel named Dorna, but the city is Vatra Dornei
(“of the Dorna”). It might create confusion in searches.

Hello,
I've been searching for birth records, my own, for some time and have run
into a brick wall. If you have any ideas on where else I should be
searching, please respond to me directly.

My mother told me I was born in Klodzko (German name Glatz) in 1946,
in a monastery.
Since Silesia was, by that time, repartitioned back to Poland, I first
checked with
Polish State Archives. They advised that all birth records would have
been transfered
to Wroclaw. After checking, they determined mine were not there.

I've also checked with the two primary monasteries in Klodzko, where I
might have
been born, also without results.

Any direction anyone can provide will be most appreciated.

Hello Fellow Members,

I have been doing German research for many years.
My aunt, Marga MANNHEIMER, was raped while in Treysa, Hessen, Germany. The
rape took place around Jan 1, 1938, when she was 16 years old.
She never told her family about the rape.
The rape resulted in Marga giving birth to a baby girl in Frankfurt. The
baby was born Sept 28, 1938. This baby would have been my first cousin.
Marga subsequently lived in Neu Isenberg by Frankfurt, in a Jewish Girls
Home.
I have a copy of the baby's birth certificate. The father is stated as
unknown.
I have reason to believe that a formal report was filed, but I do not know
what type. A family friend of the suspected rapist was knowledgeable of the
rape. The family friend and possible rapist are now deceased.

Does anyone know, if a report was made, what type of report would this have
been, and where could I find it if it still exists today. The suspected
rapist was Jewish.

I have been to Frankfurt and the Girls Home in Neu Isenburg. I have been
unsuccessful in getting any further info.
Marga and the baby girl were shipped to Berlin in 1940. Marga performed
slave labor in Berlin, while the baby was sent to an orphanage in Berlin.
Both were sent to Riga in Oct 1942, where both were killed upon their
arrival.

Best regards, Richard D. Oppenheimer r.d.oppenheimer@gmail.com

Shalom,

As it is quite likely that this finds you in the midst of preparations
for the Pesach/Passover holiday, I will try not to take up to much of
your time. I would, however, like to let you know about the highlight
activities of the Yizkor Book Project during March.

During last month I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to receive
donations of complete books that we have now placed online. The books are:

- " My Survival" written by Israel Stern z"l, a survivor of the community
of Mielnice, now Melnytsya-Podilska, Ukraine was kindly presented to the
YB Project by his grandson, David Stern.
- " Frampol in the memory of its descendants" is a book in Russian about
the community of Frampol, Ukraine which is now called Kosohirka. It was
written by Mikhail Freyder and Roman Geller in order to preserve the
memory of their ancestor's community of Frampol and has been gratefully
been made available to our project.

I am always pleased to see the addition of material written in languages
other than English as it enables the exposure of this important material
to an even wider audience. The material we do have in other languages
appears in our Translations Index (link below) under the category "Other
languages" and includes material in Hebrew, Spanish, French, Polish,
Russian and even, Lithuanian.

Further good news is that in March we completed uploading the "Preserving
Our Litvak Heritage" book abut various communities in Lithuania, kindly
presented to us by Joel Alpert. For your information, this book is also
available for purchase under the auspices of our Yizkor Books in Print
Project.

And on the YBIP Project, last month yet another new book hit the shelves
- "Memorial book of the Ritavas Community" about the community of
Rietavas, Lithuania. Once again, the wheels of this project continue to
roll and present us with new books on a regular basis and we have Joel
Alpert and his dedicated and talented team of volunteers to thank for that.

Now, all that is left for me before our list of new and updated projects,
is to wish you dear readers and your families a most enjoyable Pesach/
Passover holiday.

And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during

Happy Passover/Pesach Sameach,
Lance Ackerfeld
Yizkor Book Project Manager

Shalom,

As it is quite likely that this finds you in the midst of preparations
for the Pesach/Passover holiday, I will try not to take up to much of
your time. I would, however, like to let you know about the highlight
activities of the Yizkor Book Project during March.

During last month I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to receive
donations of complete books that we have now placed online. The books are:

- " My Survival" written by Israel Stern z"l, a survivor of the community
of Mielnice, now Melnytsya-Podilska, Ukraine was kindly presented to the
YB Project by his grandson, David Stern.
- " Frampol in the memory of its descendants" is a book in Russian about
the community of Frampol, Ukraine which is now called Kosohirka. It was
written by Mikhail Freyder and Roman Geller in order to preserve the
memory of their ancestor's community of Frampol and has been gratefully
been made available to our project.

I am always pleased to see the addition of material written in languages
other than English as it enables the exposure of this important material
to an even wider audience. The material we do have in other languages
appears in our Translations Index (link below) under the category "Other
languages" and includes material in Hebrew, Spanish, French, Polish,
Russian and even, Lithuanian.

Further good news is that in March we completed uploading the "Preserving
Our Litvak Heritage" book abut various communities in Lithuania, kindly
presented to us by Joel Alpert. For your information, this book is also
available for purchase under the auspices of our Yizkor Books in Print
Project.

And on the YBIP Project, last month yet another new book hit the shelves
- "Memorial book of the Ritavas Community" about the community of
Rietavas, Lithuania. Once again, the wheels of this project continue to
roll and present us with new books on a regular basis and we have Joel
Alpert and his dedicated and talented team of volunteers to thank for that.

Now, all that is left for me before our list of new and updated projects,
is to wish you dear readers and your families a most enjoyable Pesach/
Passover holiday.

And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during
