ITS was able to trace my birth and existence in 1947 in the
DP camp in Wetzlar and worked with the official registrar
Office in Wetzlar to issue me a birth certificate after 62 years.
(I have been working to get a birth certificate for 15 years, it
only got done after ITS Found the camp records)
ITS stores all the available records of the DP camps in Germany.

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
 

Shalom,

In spite the of the fact that during September we were all very involved
celebrating the New Year, the Yizkor Book project continued to be very
active and it appears that we haven't been sitting on our laurels (whatever
they are..)

During this last month we have added these 6 new projects:

Kamyanets Podilskyy, Ukraine
Lomazy, Poland
Strzegowo, Poland
Tyszowce, Poland
Volodymerets', Ukraine
Zychlin, Poland

These 4 new entries:

Devecser, Hungary (part of the Papa, Hungary project)
Nemesszalok, Hungary (part of the Papa, Hungary project)
Selets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities, Poland)
Viskit, Ukraine (part of the Zyrardow, Ukraine project)

And finally, we have updated 13 existing projects:

Bedzin, Poland
Czestochowa, Poland (The Destruction of Czenstokov) - sees the completion of
this online translation - a remarkable achievement
Dusetos, Lithuania - an almost completed project, which also contains almost
900 pictures - unique in its presentation
Jewish Music in Poland between the World Wars
Kaluszyn, Poland
Katowice, Poland
Kolomyya, Ukraine
Krasnik, Poland
Kutno, Poland - a new rapidly growing project.
Lida, Belarus
Papa, Hungary - a translation of the whole book was graciously donated
Ryki, Poland
Sanok, Poland

Please remember that all this month's additions and updates have been
flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it
easy to find them.

Yes, there is a lot going on and we're not standing still. In recent times,
a number of fund raising Translations Projects were added and you are
invited to look at this ever growing list and perhaps, help one of these
projects financially so that we can continue on adding on to these
extraordinary links to our past.

http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23

The new Translation Projects that were added recently are:

Ratno, Ukraine
Stolin, Belarus
Pinkas HaKehillot Lita - initiated in order to translate as many of the
chapters >from this encyclopedia as possible

Finally, I am always pleased to hear >from any of you interested helping out

Hi,
Gruszka means "a pear".
-iewicz, -ewicz, -owicz are common endings in Polish surnames.
It's very plausible that a part of Gruszka-family changed their surname to
Gruszkiewicz. Rochma is probably a Yiddish name - it doesn't sound Polish.

Rochma GRUSZKA: she was always referred to by her son as being called
"Gruszkevicz" not Gruszka. Might anyone have an explanation for this?
She was >from Southern Poland.
Would Gruszkevicz be Yiddish for Gruszka? Polish & Russian indices
list her as Gruszka.
In her same town there is also a family called Gruszkevicz; could be
related or not.
What might be the Yiddish version of ROCHMA?
Does Gruszka have a definition?
