Re: Summary of Trip to Poland -- Report 2

Tilford Bartman <bartmant@...>
Hi,
Great stuff! I'm envious of Mark's 18 days in Poland. My trips have all been relatively short ones. I'll make a few comments about your observations. About two years ago I wrote the IPN (Institute of National Remembrance) trying to find if documentation was available of the trial where my relative Palter Lopata charged the Polish Police Assistant to the Germans in Zabludow Zigmond Koslowski with war crimes. They wrote me back telling me that the records of the trial were destroyed in 1989! Palter and two other survivors >from Zabludow testified, and I think the records of this trial would have information about what happened in Zabludow during the war which is otherwise unknown and not available elsewhere. They were nice enough to point me to some other resources on Zabludow most of which I was familiar. I think the issue of people who were recruited by the communist security agencies is a huge one for Polish people, and I don't doubt that this incident with the reporter would create a stir. My understanding is that since the fall of the communist government in Poland very little has been done to identify those who worked for the security agencies or those who might actually be guilty of various crimes during this period. Many ex-communists have been successful in the "new" Poland including "reformed" ex-communist politicians. Of course this is really an issue for Poles, but as a observing descendant of Polish Jews I have mixed feelings about it. One possible benefit of the Poles facing the truth about the communist period in Poland could be that they (Poles within Poland and elsewhere) might see that the vast majority of those that "collaborated" were not "Jews", just more or less ordinary Poles very much like themselves. And that many millions of Poles simply did what they needed to do to benefit >from the system and make a life, as people generally do elsewhere. There where very few true heroes in this regard. Historically I think the view in Poland has been widespread that 1) communism was nearly 100 percent imposed on Poland >from without- this I think is to quite a large extent correct but still somewhat exaggerated by many Poles. 2) that it was largely Jews who were responsible for or who were "used" to impose communism on Poland- this has a small grain of truth but is very distorted and exaggerated in a convenient way. I notice that many "activist" Poles living outside of Poland as Americans, Canadians, Brits, etc., would like to see the government in Poland do much more to expose, root out, and prosecute ex-communists and their helpers. Inside Poland there has not been nearly as much taste for this. Hopefuly the effects of the Bronislaw Wildstein incident on access to Jewish vital records will be short lived but who knows. The personal property restitution issue is very emotional and really I think an impossible one in Poland. It's considerably more complex than it was in the other European countries that have already dealt with this. There are all kinds of people in Poland who could claim property restitution, as you mention even Germans. Can you imagine how many Poles might feel about that! What about the more than 1 million Poles >from Eastern Poland who were arrested and deported East by the Russians between Sept. 1939 and June 1941. Many of them lost property. Who are they going to go to for restitution and what is their chance of every seeing it. These are all issues that are ripe for exploitation by various Polish political parties. We had two very nice Polish high school students >from the Bialystok area come over to participate in the Zabludow Synagogue model project about a year ago. They had a good time, and were pretty enthusiastic. Their one concern was that the project would increase interest among Jews here in their roots in Poland, and that inevitably would lead them to have interest in property restitution! Anyway, I think it's important to be aware that Jews aren't the only ones in Poland that suffered, and what might be the effects of our words and actions on others. from what I understand the community property issue has caused a greatdeal of bitterness and divisions within the Jewish community in Poland and among those very concerned with it. >from what I understand one of the assertions is that some of those involved in making decisions like in selling religious property are people who Jewishness until rather recently was quite subterranean, and that they are in no position in terms of their knowledge or their emotional connection to be making such decisions. About five years ago I was able to obtain an original document that was a power of attorney >from 1946 giving the Jewish community in Bialystok the right to sell the religious property in Zabludow of the Rabbis house and the Bilsk Street prayer house for 130,000 Zloty's. It was signed by Shimon Datner and Menel Turek, and has the seal of the post war Bialystok Jewish community. I gave a copy of it to the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. It appears that on the property that was once the Zabludow wooden synagogue, the Mikvah, and the Jewish school house, have been built the town's fire station, and several homes. There is one large vacant lot behind the fire station. I learned that when the fire station was being built they hit a large concrete foundation, and that was removed. It was what was left of the Mikvah. Architects >from the Conservators Office in Warsaw would like to find where were the exact foundations of the synagogue and do some archeological exploration there, but I don't know if that will be possible. The home and Blacksmith shop that was owned by my great grandfather and then my great uncle was still there after the war. Now it appears to have several homes that were built on it, though I don't now just what the property line was. At first I had the wrong home and I thought that the original home was still there. I talked to the owner who told me that her stepfather bought the home in 1937 >from a Jew named Ico Baron, and that my families home and shop was on the other side of the street right over the little bridge. She showed me the deed, and the residency list for her home. She was really very nice. I image in part because she new she could show that this was not my families home, and that her home had been legally bought before the war. She told me that when they were building the homes where my families Smith shop was they found some old horse shoes and that she still had a few. She gave me one which of course I still have. I personally have no interest whatsover in property restitution- just that the truth be known. That the property belonged to Jews (my family), that they were murdered by the Germans, and that the property was taken over by others. Tilford |

Re: civil registration Bohemia

Peter Bakos asked about civil registration. It represents a valuable
source of personal data. The civil register cards called police applications (policejni prihlasky) were kept since 1914 till 1955. The card shows name, birth date and the place of birth, profession, faith, status (married/single), name of the spouse, marriage date and place, names of children and the date of leave (including the date of transport during the nazi occupation).

* Land restitution in the Slovak Republic
#hungary
Tom Venetianer <tom.vene@...>
The Slovak Government is looking for land owners and heirs who had land in the Slovak State during WW2 and the communist era, and whose titles of ownership are still not entered in the current Cadastre (register of landowners).
SUMMARY OF MOTIVES: "This Act is supposed to bring order to the field of proprietary titles to real estate in the Slovak Cadastre. In general, after WW2, when communists came to power, the act of the entry of proprietary titles to real estate lost its sense. There was no juridical ground for private ownership and a lot of people were illegally expropriated by State. The above-mentioned ROEP(*) programme enables in the real estate Cadastre to enter the real estate, which has not been registered yet and, moreover, also the entries of title deeds (property assessment, inheritance, etc.) as well as the entries of titles recorded only in former land registers." WHERE TO SEARCH? On the bottom of page http://www.geoportal.sk/roep/e.php there is a search engine which allows searching for names and surnames. DEADLINE: The deadline to enter with a restitution/registration claims expires on September 1, 2005. CLAIMS SUBMISSION: To submit a claim, follow the instructions on the page above and send the documentation to one of the real estate registration offices. You will find their addresses and phone numbers on page: http://www.geodesy.gov.sk/kontakt/Kontaktframe.htm Click on the "Katastralne urady" link, then on the region to which the plot belongs (Banska Bytrica, Bratislava, Kosice, etc.).
