I've posted a vital record in Polish for which I need a translation.
This is a birth record for Moses Mendel JOSEFSBERG on which there is
supplemental writing. I know that he later went by the name Max FURST
and this name can be seen on the record. It is of the later writing
that I need a translation.

I believe that this will give information of his later life.

It is on ViewMate at the following address ...

I am researching my mother's family in Galicia. My grandfather was Samuel
ROTTERSMAN (1895-1947), who was the son of Isaac Rottersman (1861-1931) and
Malka (Mishket) BLONSKI (1860-1906). Isaac lived in Bochnia, Poland (some
of the records mention Stanislawice). I knew of two sisters of my
grandfather, Sadie (1889-1965) and Esther (1897-1964). Isaac had a second
family with his second wife, Itel LANDWIRTH (1881-1939), of which the only
one I had heard of was Nathan (Nutke) (1915-1996).

When I began research into the Rottersman family, I discovered that there
were more branches of the family. I learned >from other researchers that
there were other Rottersmans in Bochnia. One of my cousins mentioned a
number of Rottersmans in the Bochnia cemetery.

I would like to find out whether some of these other branches are connected
to my family. My grandfather's father Isaac was the son of Samuel (or Szmuel
in Polish). I found another Szmuel Rottersman who died in Bochnia in 1897,
but I do not think he was the Szmuel who was my grandfather's grandfather.
Among this Szmuel's children was Yussel Leib Rottersman (1852-1917), of whom
two children, Regina (1875-1956) and Chaim Baruch (1878-1953), immigrated
to the United States. I think the children of another, Elimelech (1880-1931),
remained in Europe and may have died in the Shoah.

There are also a number of other Rottersmans who lived in the general area,
although not necessarily near Bochnia. I have been able to use various
sources to link the various records to obtain the branches of the family.

If anyone can help with suggestions, please let me know.

Shalom,

As always, quite a lot has happened over the last month and a witness to
this, is the impressive list of projects below of those that were dealt
with during October.

For a start, another book has now been completed online - "Memories of
Ozarow" which was generously donated to the Yizkor Book Project by the
translator, William Fraiberg, who carried out the English translation of
the original book in French by the late Hillel Adler. We now have 140
complete books online and we continue the challenge of translating as
much of the Yizkor books to make them available to a wide public.

Last month, we were also pleased to see the addition of a new project for
Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania - a book about the Schwabe Gymnasion that
existed there. It's importance is that it covers the lives of family
members who were students and teachers at the Gymnasion (high school).
The first sections are now online graciously translated by Rabbi Shalom
Bronstein and there are plans to set up a dedicated translations fund for
this book in order to facilitate the translation of its entirety.

I was pleased, this past month, to receive >from various people, the
sponsored translation of a number of entries on communities that are to
be found in the Yad Vashem Pinkasim (Encyclopedias of the Jewish
communities) and also the Marmaros Book. The communities covered in these
books are, particularly for the smaller ones, don't generally have their
own specific Yizkor book and the information covered by these entries is
truly unparalleled. If your predecessors came >from a community that, as
yet, you haven't found information on, please contact me and I'll assist
in seeing if an entry does exist in one of the aforementioned volumes.

The Yizkor Book in Print continues to plough ahead and more new books are
currently in the works. I, together with the people involved in this
project were very gratified to see that a book that they recently
published "A Memorial Book for Rokiskis and its Environs" saw a mention
in the local paper Rokiskis "Sirena". The article noted that the Rokiskis
Regional Museum had been delighted to receive a copy of the English
translation of this book and the paper outlined the Yizkor Book Project's
aim of translating yizkor books into English is making the history of the
Jewish communities is more accessible to Lithuanians. Truly wonderful to
learn about the impact the YBIP Project and the YB Project, in general, is
having around the globe.

On November 9-10, 1938 Nazis conducted a wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms
throughout Germany, annexed Austria and areas of the Sudetenland in
Czechoslovakia.it is known as Kristallnacht. "The Night of Broken Glass",
stems >from the broken windows of 267 synagogues, homes and 7,500
Jewish-owned businesses destroyed during the action, as well as the deaths
of 91 Jews. Up to 30,000 Jewish males were arrested and transferred to
concentration camps. Kristallnacht was the turning point in Nazi's
anti-Semitic policy and persecution of the Jews.

The Wiener Library for the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide in the United
Kingdom announced they completed their project to catalogue their collection
of 356 testimonies >from eye witnesses to Kristallnacht. For the first time
full-text transcriptions of the original documents in German, French and
Dutch are available in English

throughout Germany, annexed Austria and areas of the Sudetenland in
Czechoslovakia.it is known as Kristallnacht. "The Night of Broken Glass",
stems >from the broken windows of 267 synagogues, homes and 7,500
Jewish-owned businesses destroyed during the action, as well as the deaths
of 91 Jews. Up to 30,000 Jewish males were arrested and transferred to
concentration camps. Kristallnacht was the turning point in Nazi's
anti-Semitic policy and persecution of the Jews.

Kingdom announced they completed their project to catalogue their collection
of 356 testimonies >from eye witnesses to Kristallnacht. For the first time
