Re: Locate grave in Germany after Holocaust

Renee Steinig
As I read the form, the sender (expediteur in French, Absender in German) was Leibus Farkas, address Feldafing, and the recipient (destinataire in French, Empfanger in German) was Lipot Watten... (?) in Munkacs (Mukacevo). Perhaps Solomon can clarify, based on what he knows about this communication. Renee

Hello Jan Michel!
Are you aware of the fact that Kinderstransporte even reached Sweden? There
is a book written in German about a girl that came to Sweden.
The title is “Mein Liebes Ilsekind. Mit dem Kindertransport nach Schweden –
Briefe an eine gerettete Tochter”. And “Herausgegeben von Elisabeth
Cosanne-Schulte-Huxel im Auftrg des Jüdischen Museums Westfalen.
Wishing you success!

Renee,
you are correct, but Feldafing is the address of the recipient, not of the sender. As far as I understood, his uncle sent the letter, so he was not in Feldafing but in the other place (the name i cannot decipher, unfortunately). -- David Seldner, Karlsruhe, Germany seldner@...

Re: Locate grave in Germany after Holocaust
#germany
Renee Steinig
The form with the Red Cross symbol on top gives Leibus's address as Feldafing -- a displaced persons camp that was located in Bavaria (Bayern), about 20 miles southwest of Munich. Google for much information about that camp. According to FindaGrave (https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2517557/jüdischer-friedhof-feldafing), some of the people who died at the Feldafing DP camp were "buried in a small cemetery at Friedensweg, right next to the community cemetery. Actually the community donated a part of its cemetery property for this Jewish burial ground to be established. It is now is poor condition, with many markers toppled and impossible to read. There have been no further burials since 1953. It has seen 112 known burials...The cemetery is somewhat hidden. Once a visitor is standing in front of the gate of the community cemetery, turn left onto the parking lot behind the little chapel. There one will find a small gate that leads onto the Jewish burial ground." Someone named Frank K. (https://www.findagrave.com/user/profile/46941322) has photographed several of the graves in that cemetery. I suggest that you write him and ask him if he would be able to check there for Leibus's grave. Also, see this Facebook group: Families of Feldafing Displaced Persons Camp . Maybe someone there can help. Renee

In those times Syria was a general not precise area of the Levant, more than a political concept, and it could include Palestine - within the Otoman Empire

Re: NYPL opens up some databases for remote use for library card holders
Mitchell Collier
Check your local library for temporary remote access to Ancestry.com, etc. The link to Ancestry on my neighborhood library’s website still says “this resource is only available through library computers for in-library use and cannot be accessed from home.” Even so, I clicked through and gained full access to the library’s Ancestry account.

Re: NYPL opens up some databases for remote use for library card holders
Renee Steinig
Anyone who lives, works, attends school or pays property tax in New
York State is entitled to a NYPL card. For a list of the NYPL databases that can normally be searched from home, see https://www.nypl.org/collections/articles-databases . Among them, ProQuest's Historical Jewish Newspapers and these other newspapers: Atlanta Constitution, Baltimore Sun, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Hartford Courant, Los Angeles Times, Toronto Star, Washington Post. For details and a link to an online application, see https://www.nypl.org/help/library-card/terms-conditions#access. Out-of-staters and visitors from abroad can apply in person for a three-month card. Ordinarily it is possible for NYers who live outside the city to apply online and fax/email a copy of ID, but I guess that won't work when the library is closed.
