Attendance Half-jew attending Berlin University 1940#Germany

Vera Finberg <vera.finberg@...>
 

My uncle, half Jewish, who legally left the Berlin Jewish Community at age 16 in 1932  Hewas in the German Army in 1940 and supposedly thrown out by Nazi Law 12. According to his son, he then attended the German University in Berlin under his own name; Siegfried Kahan and graduated in 1945.  How would this have been possible?

I have relatives with the names of Louis and Bryna, but on the ship manifests for their immigration to the US from Russia in the 1800's and early 1900's, they appear as Leiser/Leizer and Breine (male and female, respectively).

I can't speak to the origin of Cerne.

searching for the maiden name of my great-grandmother Riva/Rivke BERENSON #ukraine

Molly Staub
 

 

I’ve tried to solve this brick wall problem for years. However, with the surge of new researchers lately, perhaps someone will have an answer.  I’m searching for the maiden name of my great-grandmother Riva/Rivke Berenson (married to Yishea/Ovshiy Berenson – don’t know when he died). She was a midwife in Krasnoye, Podolia Gubernia, Ukraine. Several of her children (born between 1868 and about 1884) had left for London by 1901 (appearing on that Great Britain Census). Family lore says she traveled to London to visit them and even spoke at a school for midwifery, but I haven’t found a passport or any record.  I know of a family of landsmen in Krasnoye where she delivered all of their Loigman children, between 1887 and 1904. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?

Re: 2020 US Census - further thoughts #general

Jim Gutterman
 

I think things and records etc will first have to evolve as different electronic capabilities, software etc also develop. For instance, those of us  family trees we put out with Ancestry and other services will make things hugely easier for subsequent generations. Births, deaths, citizenship will likely be recorded n stored electronically by various govt or other entities. Just in general, the hunt will be different, but imo will be easier to find things. No more poring over handwritten n often inaaccurate manifests...

Rabbi David of Novarodok (Galya Mesechet)-19th century #belarus #rabbinic

Yonatan Ben-Ari
 

Researching family tree of the rabbi of Novarodok, during the 19th
century, Rabbi David be Moshe (of Klezk), also known for his book
"Galya Mesechet". One son, Moshe, married HOROWITZ from Minsk and
adopted the HOROWIT0Z family name. A son-in-law, RABINOVITCH,
published his above mentioned book.

One reply which I received in the past when asking for David's family
name, was TCHEMERINSKY but checking with some members of this family
they did not know of the above Rabbi David.

I have reason to believe that we are somehow related.

Seeking 1940 ship name and manifest Lisbon to Mozambique Portugal Lourenço Marques #general

Della Peretti
 

Subject: Seeking 1940 ship name and manifest Lisbon to Mozambique #Portugal #Lourenço Marques #Mozambique #shipmanifest

My grandmother’s sister Rose PODLIASHUK, née KODRIANSKY and her husband Max fled Lisbon to Lourenço Marques in Mozambique between late-June and mid-July 1940. I believe their arrival date was on or before August 18. They were stranded there for a year after the ZamZam, the boat they were supposed to take to Palestine, was torpedoed by the Germans in the mid-Atlantic. They arrived in Palestine in mid-August 1941 by plane to Istanbul and then sea plane to Tiberias.

I am looking for the name of the ship they took to get to Mozambique, the manifest, and any other information about the route or the voyage.

Thank you for reading and responding to this.

Yom HaShoah 2020/5780 #JewishGenUpdates #holocaust

Avraham Groll
 

As we observe Yom HaShoah, we are sharing this message from Joyce Field – a devoted volunteer for more than two decades, and past Vice President of JewishGen. During her tenure, she established the Yizkor Book project, Burial Registry (JOWBR) and Holocaust Collection.
--
Observing Yom HaShoah within the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic has led me to somber reflection. The isolation we are experiencing has reinforced how important the bonds of community truly are, and that life’s meaning is intertwined with family and community.

But it also made me ever cognizant of the challenges and hardships that families experienced just 75 years ago during the Holocaust. While we are physically isolated, we have the luxury of modern technology to keep us safe, entertained, and in constant communication with family and friends.

In contrast, what strength it must have taken for Holocaust Survivors to endure long periods of isolation, permeated by fear and dread of the unknown, without food, water or anything to keep them occupied.

With these thoughts in mind, I am ever so grateful for having had the opportunity to actively participate in, and lead, JewishGen’s important work for so many years. Every moment was meaningful, infused with purpose, and it provided me with a tremendous sense of community. Most importantly, it allowed me to directly create projects and initiatives which, until this very day, help memorialize the Jewish people who were murdered during the Shoah, and their communities whose culture, customs, history and heritage was nearly eradicated.

The word “Yizkor” means “remembrance.” On this day devoted to remembering the Holocaust, and its victims, please do your share to remember our ancestors. Search the Holocaust Collection, or the burial registry. Read through the translations of Yizkor Books, and make sure that the richness of Jewish communal life before the Holocaust will never be forgotten.

Note:
We offer our resources as a public service to the Jewish community, and feature unparalleled access to tens of millions of records, search tools, educational resources and networking opportunities. You can begin your search, or get involved, by visiting www.JewishGen.org.

Re: UNSURE IF THESE ARE NAMES ! Leiser, Breine #names

Leiser/Leisor/Lazar is male.
My Lazar was a Leo/Leon.
I believe Breine is the equivalent of Bruche. My Bruche was a Bertha.

Re: UNSURE IF THESE ARE NAMES ! #names

Leiser/Leizer is a male name. It’s a short form of Eliezer. But he could have used any name in the “new world."

Cerne and Breine/Bryna are female names. No equivilants. My secular name is Barbara, but my religious name is Breindel (a diminutive of Brina. But I, my cousin Bina, and another cousin Ruth all have the religious name Breindel.
