JewishGen is pleased to announce the addition of 37,000 new records

death camp at Chelmno, June-August 1944.

Names of over 3,000 victims >from Gyor, Hungary, deported to
Auschwitz, made by a Jewish communal organization.

Is there a reason it is whited out?

After some year (sorry, I've forgotten which year), New Jersey does not
release cause of death information.

Israel Pikholz wrote his friend's second great-grandfather was buried in

The cemetery stays under lock and key and is therefore not easy to get into

Dear Genners,

I was looking at the list of victims in Yad Vashem for persons called
SPANDAU. I found, among many:

1.- STADTLER, Ella (Sara), maiden name SPANDAU. Born Stettin 24/12/1899,
died 24/11/1943 in Auschwitz. Place during wartime: Muenchen, Oberbayern.
This information is based on a list of victims >from Auschwitz found in the
Auschwitz Death Registers, The State Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau page
34029/1943.

Can someone suggest where I can find particulars about her parents and
grandparents. Stettin, now in Poland? I suppose there are LDS films for
Stettin. Or the Auschwitz museum, or the city of Muenchen?

2.- There are also four entries, apparently for the same person, called
ZLOTNITZKI (in various spellings) Sarah, maiden name SPANDAU. Born in Posen
or Rogasen (also in Posen, so perhaps the same place). She was residing in
Berlin. Two of these entries have been submitted by the daughter Zipora or
Tzipora LEVI. Since most of the text of the page of testimony is difficult
to read for me, I can't quite see the date it has been submitted, but it
seems to be in 1957. Two other entries are based on the Gedenkbuch.

My questions: is there a way to find the daughter Zipora LEVI in Israel,
provided she is still alive. I have seen a number of participants answering

from Israel, can someone put me on to her, or can that be done via Yad

Vashem? Also, can the Gedenkbuch be consulted?

My aim is to find if either of these women descend >from a Rebecca SPANDAU or
SPANDOW, maiden name probably LEVIN, who lived somewhere in Prussia around
1840.

Kind greetings,
Jan BOUSSE, Oostende, Belgium
