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

Symcha AJZENGOLD was in transit because Sugihara visas were transit
visas. If you google "Sugihara Visas" you can read the details.
270 Madison Ave. NYC was merely the 1949 address of the office of
American Jewish Distribution Committee (JDC). I believe he may never
have gone to New York and could have settled anywhere.

I am trying to track down a Symcha Joina AJZENGOLD, born 17 August 1898

He is one of the lucky people who got a Sugihara visa and wound up in
Shanghai in 1941, where he stayed, supported by the Joint, until 1949.
He arrived in San Francisco on the General M C Meigs on 24 Jan 1949.
The actual shipping record says he is "in transit", and since he gives
an address as 270 Madison Ave. New York, that's probably where he was in
transit to....

Player films cannot be played outside of the United Kingdom. If one clicks

#unitedkingdom
Jan Meisels Allen
The British Film Archive is making available feature films, home movies,
newsreels and more all documenting life for British Jews during the 20th
century. The collection is called : Jewish Britain on Film
Much of the collection is free to view. The historic films coincide with the
1905 Aliens Act. According to Wikipedia, The Aliens Act was an Act of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. This
established for the first time immigration controls and registration, and
gave the Home Secretary overall responsibility for immigration and
nationality matters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens_Act_1905. BFI
Curator Simon McCallum explains the films rely on "Jewish stereotypes of
the time, which were pretty anti-Semitic in nature." This was the time many
Jews were fleeing the pogroms of Eastern Europe. After World War 1 the
attitudes shifted which is shown in movies such as the General Post. The
films do not depict only London. The films depict Jewish life in the UK
throughout the 20th century. The films depict the various stages of Jewish
life in the 20th century >from immigration to emigration (to Palestine) to
recognition of importance of Jews in British history.
In addition to the free films there are a selection of clips on the BFI
YouTube Channel.
The free collection may be accessed at:
https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/collection/jewish-britain-on-film
There are also some films available on their rental collection:

Dear friends of JRI-Poland:
On December 1st, I asked you - our users and supporters - to remember
JRI-Poland in your year-end giving plans.
Now, as we near the end of the month and close out 2017, it appears
we will be setting an all-time record for the number of donations
received in any December since we first started 22 years ago.
Recurring donations were also initiated, which reflects a desire
to continue supporting the organization that has made such a
difference for your research.
We don't have a total yet...but the donations, big and small, will
do what we set out to do...and that is raise funds to enhance our
ability to continue to expand our database with additional entries
and information for your town(s).
At the same time, many of you have written to comment on how
important JRI-Poland has been to your research and for some of you,
how our work has resulted in life-changing discoveries. We are
very appreciative of the kind words we have received.
To all of you who have generously supported our activity this month
and in the past, we thank you again. To researchers who have not
yet made a donation to JRI-Poland, please take a moment to consider
doing so before the year end. No donation is too small.
The JRI-Poland online donations page can be found at:
www.jri-poland.org/support.htm
Note: Jewish Records Indexing - Poland is an independent non-profit
organization with its own administration, volunteers and fundraising.
Because JRI-Poland's database, discussion group and website are
hosted by JewishGen, as a courtesy to researchers, JRI-Poland
enables its data search results to be displayed on JewishGen's
All Poland Database.
Best wishes for 2018 to all our friends. May it be a year of health
and continued success.

Dear friends of JRI-Poland:
On December 1st, I asked you - our users and supporters - to remember
JRI-Poland in your year-end giving plans.
Now, as we near the end of the month and close out 2017, it appears
we will be setting an all-time record for the number of donations
received in any December since we first started 22 years ago.
Recurring donations were also initiated, which reflects a desire
to continue supporting the organization that has made such a
difference for your research.
We don't have a total yet...but the donations, big and small, will
do what we set out to do...and that is raise funds to enhance our
ability to continue to expand our database with additional entries
and information for your town(s).
At the same time, many of you have written to comment on how
important JRI-Poland has been to your research and for some of you,
how our work has resulted in life-changing discoveries. We are
very appreciative of the kind words we have received.
To all of you who have generously supported our activity this month
and in the past, we thank you again. To researchers who have not
yet made a donation to JRI-Poland, please take a moment to consider
doing so before the year end. No donation is too small.
