If this matches anyone in your family let me know and I will send it to
you.

York (cert # 8575). It states his wife is Esther, mothers first name
Sarah. He was buried 27 Sep 1935 in Baron Hirsch Cemetery.

Photos of my recent roots trip #general

Eli Rabinowitz
 

Hi All

Please visit:

http://elirab.me

You can scroll back or use the search engine to find
places of interest to you.

I visited many towns and shtetls in Lithuania and Latvia,
focussing on places of Jewish interest, photographing cemeteries,
memorial sites, synagogues, museums and buildings which were
previously Jewish.

Using international mobile roaming and GPS, I was able to
find and pinpoint many sites and addresses.

I met friendly and helpful people, including community leaders and
Jewish guides, who made this trip an exceptional experience.

I took more than 8000 photos, which speak for themselves and certainly
paint a thousand words!

If you want more information on my travels, please contact me privately.


Places visited in Lithuania:

Kaunas, Babtai, Raseiniai, Klaipeda, Curonian Spit, Kretinga, Palanga,
Siauliai, Telsiai, Plunge, Salantai, Plateliai, Joniskis, Zagare,
Kriukai, Panevezys, Kedainiai, Ruodiai, Ukmerge, Vilnius,
Paneriai, Trakai, Grutas Parkas and Druskininkai

Latvia:

Liepaja, Skeda, Azpute, Riga, Jurmala, Tukums, Jelgava,
Bauska and Rundale Palace.

My visit to Kedainiai, the birthplace of my 3rd great grandfather,
Avraham Shlomo Zalman Tzoref was particularly special.
In this town, where Tzoref was influenced by his teacher, the Vilna
Gaon, I was able to meet with another teacher, Laima Ardaviciene and her
students.
See their website:

http://allequalalldifferent.weebly.com/rooted-in-keidan.html

The town has a lovely cultural centre in what used to be the complex of
two synagogues. Rimantas Dirgulis and his team have helped make
this a most interesting town to visit.

I encourage people to visit their ancestral places and so connect with
their roots, a worthwhile trip to make!

Best regards

Re: Hungarian Proof of Residency to Avoid Deportation #general

tom
 

The pages are birth certificates.

The history was that the Hungarian government, although allied with
Germany, and discriminating against Jews, was faced with a political
dilemma: because folklore said that the Jews had arrived in Hungary
with the magyar tribes (in actual fact there are records of Jews
there in roman times), the government initially only talked about
deporting "foreign jews", who had migrated >from other countries.
(jews in hungary were granted civil rights ahead of most of Europe,
and therefore attracted immigration even >from other parts of the
empire.) so they required proof of being "Hungarian".

The "foreign jews" were supposedly deported to kamenets podolsk, but
were actually taken there and for the most part murdered. And of
course, later on, they rounded up all Jews.

Bienkes - what does it mean? #general

Larry Freund & Gloria Berkenstat Freund <gbfreund18@...>
 

I am translating the Czyzewo Yizkor Book and have come upon a word that
is not in any Yiddish dictionary, nor in Stutchkoff's Theasurus. The
word is "bienkes" - bet, yud, ayin, nun, kuf, ayin, semakh.

The paragraph in which the word appears is translated as follows:

I ran with all my strength, not looking back. I crossed the 300-meter
field that cut across the forest as if in one leap. I finally stopped
when I was outside of Dmochy, stretched out on the ground and listened
to the distant noises that came >from the right. The Germans had departed
on the bienkes.

I would appreciate hearing >from anyone who recognizes this word.

Trying to reestablish contact Shoshana Gross on her work on the
Ashkenazi rabbinical family of Kalisz and Zawichost.

Quick tip for neophyte genealogists:

It never hurts to try Googling a name (especially if there is
something slightly unusual about it - as, in this case, the given
name "Shoshana").

A Google quickly turns up the address and phone number of a "Shoshana E. Gross"
in Highland Park, NJ.

Probably a good idea to try the Google (or an online phone
directory) before going to the trouble of asking JGDG members
for their help.

Hi

I would appreciate help deciphering the annotations on a

I believe that "B.Block" is a person and would like to know how he
is connected to or what service he provided to the passenger
Louis Want. B.Block is mentioned twice - once on the line for
Louis Want and once on the line for another passenger described as
Louis's friend.
