Are any of the people in this photo on Viewmate https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM80652 familiar? I know their names from the back of the photo (Jozef, Sabrina, Bela and Henryk Bauman) and believe them to be related to my BAUMAN grandfather but can find no evidence. Does anyone recognise them? There are more details in the link.
Thank you.

In going through some early Schloss family photos from the late 1920s and and early 1930s in Hannover Germany, I came across several that have individuals identified in them. In the event that there are family members interested in those individuals I have posted them.

I assume that you came also across the Groszen Biblitek  (גראשען ביבליאטעק)

The European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative (ESJF) thread regarding the mapping of 1500 cemeteries in 5 countries: Greece, Lithuania, Moldova, Slovakia and Ukraine https://www.esjf-surveys.org/ was mislabeled with the #Romania hashtag however this latter country is NOT included in the survey.
Moldova in this specific case is short for the Republic of Moldova which is a separate country from Romania and is labeled in this message board as #bessarabia (its former name).  While there is also a REGION in Romania called Moldova which explains the mislabeling, the region is NOT included in the survey nor is the rest of Romania.

I tried to but I am not sure I relabeled the thread correctly with the three relevant hashtags #bessarabia #ukraine #lithuania. For Greece and Slovakia there are no hashtags yet.

Best,

Lee,

I'd start by gathering two pieces of info:

1. every census that your grandfather will appear in should have a column asking either "How long has this person been in the US" or "What year did they arrive in the US".  Many states (especially NY) did their own censuses in between federal census years and also asked this question.  From the answers, you should be able to get a good approximation of the year that your grandfather arrived.

2. if any of your foreign-born family members naturalized, or, if any of the foreign-born males registered for the WWI draft, those documents will list the town from which your family came.

3. if you know the name of the cousin that family lore says your grandfather came with, so much the better

Using the above information, head over to Steve Morse's One-Step webpage (https://stevemorse.org/ ).  Steve's search forms will let you search passenger manifests in a variety of different ways.  If the town had a small population, you may be able to locate your grandfather's manifest by using just the year of arrival, his age & the town name, for example.  I've done the same for cases where the name was badly mangled, or if I didn't know the original surname or person's Yiddish name. The Ellis Island form also allows you to search with a companion name.

Remember to search all of the ports -- not everyone landed at Ellis Island!

Regards,
David Oseas

Hi
I’ve found a German document concerning a great aunt which explains where she was during the Shoah. 

and it’s written something about his brother my grandfather with this sentence just after his name :  « kmsz. 10 slj. 3zd. Majdanka ». I found that « kmsz » means « forced labourer from Hungarian army » but does someone know what means the rest of the abbreviations please?

thanks

I have purchased BMD records from JewishGen for the town of Nasielsk, Congress Poland/Russia Poland.  There is a column for "Permanent Residence (Town)" which has no data until 1907.  What is the definition of a Permanent Residence?  Also, is there a way to search past JewishGen questions?
Thank you

The discussion of how Holocaust refugee doctors had to requalify before practicing in the UK prompts me to cite the novel from which I learned about the discrimination against Jewish doctors from Europe who sought to practice in the USA.

Sarah Wildman's 2014 tragic but excellent Paper Love tracks a journalist's search for the girl her grandfather lost to the Holocaust.  A cache of letters discovered by Wildman revealed that a family's escape from Nazi genocide was incomplete. Her grandfather, a doctor trained in Vienna, came to the US but found that European doctors, perhaps especially Jewish doctors, faced roadblocks set by medical societies in America.

Wildman is an excellent reporter as well as novelist. Her book describes the horrible treatment of Austrian Jews that began immediately when the Nazis took over that country. After her family escaped from Vienna, their problems weren't over. Her grandfather had to struggle to survive in the USA due to discrimination here.

The details of life in Nazi Germany are revealed in the letters from the grandfather's former fiancé who was unable to escape.

I found Wildman's book interesting on many levels. It's a detective story, a romantic tale and a Holocaust horror story, a tragic but educational read.

I attended a lecture by Sarah Wildman at the Leo Baeck Institute in NYC but I have no other connection with the author and no commercial interest in her book.
