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

Preservation of inscriptions by Holocaust victims
#austria-czech
Kay Sharpe
Hi all, I am looking for advice about how to
preserve inscriptions on an Archway within Theresienstadt concentration camp (Terezin), Gate 3, placed there by Holocaust victims. At present these inscriptions are on sandstone destroyed by erosion. Some already lost. A survey was done and the stone work is described as critical. Any ideas about preserving this for example, who may give the grants? Any stone masons who would give their time for free to do a proper surveys? Is there any information or ideas that anyone can offer to preserve this important site.Please mail me privately.

ViewMate translation request - Yiddish with Hebrew Lettering
#lithuania
Dave Lewak <dave@...>
Hi!
My mother recently found some letters we believe were written in Yiddish by Tsipa Mishuris, my mother's maternal grandmother, to Rebecca and Barnet Lieberman, my mother's paternal grandparents. The story goes that Tsipa tried to put a stop to an impending romance between her son, an earnest medical student, and a poor young girl. Her intervention didn't work very well, as these were my grandparents. I've posted letters in Yiddish with Hebrew lettering for which I need a translation. http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM53043 http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM53044 http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM53045 Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application.

"Goldene Krentzl"
#poland
Anita Bonita <abonita@...>
My mother's family comes >from Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski. Both of her
parents were born SZTAJNHART (they were second cousins); her grandmother's maiden name was KIFEL, and next generation back was WAJNBERG and TAJTELBAUM. Passed down through the generations was the designation of "Goldene Krentzl" -- although we weren't clear on which of those four families this came through. We know what it means literally in Yiddish -- what we're trying to learn is what this designation signifies. My mother was always under the impression that it was some sort of intellectual elite, but we really don't know. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Anita Bonita New York City
