Most of you who have followed the humanitarian aid work in Ukraine that was accomplished with funds raised from the Gesher Galicia Emergency Appeal will remember Igor Perelman, Игорь Перельман the secular head of the Ivano-Frankivsk Jewish community. You may also remember that Igor was stabbed outside the synagogue in an antisemitic attack. We did a podcast with Igor where he spoke about that attack and his aid work.
You can listen to the podcast here.
I am sorry to report that Igor is having some serious health issues and will be going into the hospital tomorrow for an operation that will be the first of several procedures that he will need over the near term. Please join me and the rest of the community in wishing him a full and speedy recovery.
Refuah shlemah my friend. You are in the thoughts and prayers of many here wanting to see you back on your feet and serving the community that is so dear to your heart and to our hearts as well. We will keep everyone updated on Igor’s progress. Dr. Steven S. Turner President, Gesher Galicia www.geshergalicia.org |

Re: Proof of death?
#austria-czech
Andreas Schwab
You did not give us a name.
If he did not die in Vienna, his death was not recorded there. Look at Genteam.eu maybe you find it. Try “Overall search” fisrt. You could also try the Vienna residents register. https://www.wien.gv.at/english/e-government/culture/archives/research/residence-registration-records.html This would not give you a death record, but maybe when he died.

Andreas Schwab
Dear Steve, The group home was run by the Zentral-Krippenverein, an organization founded 1847 under the protection of Archduchess Maria Josepha as a daycare centre for babies. It was not a Jewish institution. The Seitenberggassse site was opened after WWI. In 1930 it started taking in handicapped children up to 14 years. The successor organization is BIWAK- Kinderwohngemeinschaft Laaerberg. Scroll down to page 50, The Austrian State Archive has material on the Zentral-Krippenverein: Andreas Schwab 145 Madsen Ave Beaconsfield, QC H9W 4T9 Canada Tel 514-695-8574 email: andreas.j.schwab@...

Proof of death?
#austria-czech
T R
My father (b. 1927, Wein), had an older brother born in 1923. This has been confirmed with a birth record. He apparently died as a child but I've not
been able to find any death record. His death was confirmed by my father and his cousin. Among the records sent to me from the Austrian gov't some years ago, this was not among them. Any ideas where to look, or is it possible his death wasn't recorded? Seems unlikely to me. -- Tanya Roland ROTH, ROSENBERG, STEINMANN, SPERLING, STARK, REICH Vienna, Nagy Karoly, Przemysł, Vrbove |

Re: Movsha Volk descendent
#lithuania
David Wolk
Thanks for your suggestions. My ancestors did not, however, emigrate to Canada; five of the siblings and their mother went to the U.S. and one son to South Africa. All of that emigration activity took place over a compressed period of time - they all appear to have left the town or village in Lithuania where they had been living and traveled directly to a port(Libau, Latvia in those cases where records exist) without residing, even briefly, anywhere else in the Baltic states. None of the emigration, naturalisation or death documents for any of them provided the name of the siblings' father or the mother's husband. I have grave records for each together with obits where they existed - none provide anything more than the mother's name. The children and grandchildren of those siblings(not many in number) neither saved nor still retain any ancestral records or even anectdotal evidence of the people from whom they descended. The sibling's father is the mystery element in this family. It seems likely he died sometime after the birth of the last sibling(1887) and the start of the emigration by family members(1901). Beyond that assumption nothing certain is known.

Name change petition in NYC
#usa
Richard Stower
My grandfather, Gustave Sechestower, came to the US in 1900. Up until the mid 1920s his name was the same as documents indicate. Then the name was shortened to STOWER. My suspicion has always been that the name was shortened informally. Still, I would like explore the possibility of a legal name change with accompanying documents. So I am looking for suggestions as to what court in NYC would handle name change petitions.
Thank you. Richard Stower

Jerusalemsky-Rosen , Schuchin - U.S.A.# usa
Yonatan Ben-Ari
My father-in-law's uncles, JERUSALEMSKY, of Sczuchin, came to the
U.S.A. around the turn of the 19-20th century. In the U.S.A. they changed the name to ROSEN. Rubin Myer ROSEN (d.1941) married Sophie BRAMSON. He may have been a hebrew teacher in Chicago. Their children were Ida married Philip (?) d. 1934, Charles ROSEN (b.1897 Schuchin), Sarah married SILVERMAN, Abel Aaron married Sophie, and Joseph. If any of their descendants read this and are interested in connecting with their cousins in Jerusalem, we'll be happy to hear from you. Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem |

Siberia Exiles Cross
#general
Sharon E Siegel
I am trying to apply for the Award of the Siberian Exiles Cross for my late mother-in-law and father-in-law, both of whom survived the horrible conditions in a Siberian logging camp. It says it must be applied for only in Polish. Is there anyone familiar with this application who might be able to help? I have the application, but am unable to complete it in Polish. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Sharon Siegel

Baby who died in hospital likely in Austria
#austria-czech
Sharon E Siegel
I have documents that show my mother-in-law and father-in-law (Israel and Anna (Chana) Rzezak coming through Vienna in November of 1945, with their infant daughter Rosalia Rzezak. Only Israel and Anna boarded the Marine Perch to U.S. in May of 1946. Anna told us before she died that she had a baby girl with a mastoid in her ear who died in great pain in a hospital. She revealed that she herslef, having endured horrors in the years and months before this (in Lodz Ghetto, in Auschwitz, and in Siberian logging camp -- the through Uzbekistan areas trying to survive but very ill, spend time in a sanitarium after the death of her baby girl. Anna lost most of her family, murdered in Lodz or other locations. Israel lost a wife and two children in Lodz or other areas before meeting and helping Anna later in the war.
Anna told us that sanitarium she was in was a former vacation home of Hitler, surrounded by mountains and had gold fixtures inside. She thinks maybe the Alps area. I've been trying to find hospital name/records for Rosalia Rzezak. I've been trying to find the sanitarium name and records. Can anyone help? Thanks, Sharon Siegel -- Sharon E.

Re: Israel/Death Certificate

Odeda Zlotnick
Hi Ittai, הוצאת תעודת פטירה (הליך) – כל-זכות (kolzchut.org.il) If the application is submitted by a person who is not a first degree relative of the deceased, one must personally go to one of the Population and Immigration Authority offices and submit the application form, together with a letter with the reasons for the application or a power of attorney from the family members
The ID number is the system's way of making sure the physical documents are being sent to the requester's registered address. Those who checked the links will have noticed that nowhere are you asked for the address the certificate should be sent to. |

Another thought, for both Mike and Ittai:
Have you considere searching Home - Israel Genealogy Research Association for those peoples marriage certificates? If they married in Israel, before 1948, you could find info about the parents, and their professions. All you need is the names. -- Odeda Zlotnick Jerusalem, Israel. |

Re: Israel/Death Certificate
#israel
Ittai Hershman
The forms in both Hebrew and English seem to require the national ID number (מספר זהות). Has anyone here succeeded in obtaining a death certificate without one, and have any advice?
My sole interest in going through this process is to discover the name of the deceased's mother. The death occurred in 2002 and I have visited and photographed his grave in Ha'Yarkon. His only son is also deceased (not in Israel), so I would front-end his grandchild who doesn't have the Hebrew skills to apply if I knew this would succeed, but am concerned this is a bureaucratic minefield without the ID number. Many thanks, Ittai Hershman NYC |
