#lithuania
Donald & Sandra Hirschhorn <sdh2381@...>
Recently, two new titles joined the ranks of hard cover books published by
the Yizkor Books in Print Project part of Yizkor Books Project of JewishGen, Inc. The first is: "Brest-Litovsk - Volume II Encyclopedia of the Jewish Diaspora" a translation of Brisk de-Lita: Encyclopedia Shel Galuyot. The original Yiddish volume was edited by Elieser Steinman and published in Jerusalem in 1958. The name of the town, Brest-Litovsk, indicates its link with Lithuania. Although founded by the Slavs in 1017 and invaded by the Mongols in 1241, it became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1319, and in 1569 it became the capital of the unified Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The town is also known as "Brisk," in Yiddish to the Jews who lived and thrived there for six centuries. Jewish "Brisk" had an illustrious history; the famous Brisker Yeshivah attracted scholars >from all over Europe. The list of Rabbis of Brest includes Solomon Luria and Joel Sirkes, in earlier periods, the Katzenellenbogens, and three generations of the Soloveitchik dynasty in more recent times. Brest also produced Jacob Epstein the great Talmudist at the Hebrew University, Menachem Begin, and many other major religious, literary and political leaders. In 1923, Jews made up 60% of Brest's population of 60,000. Brest, Belarus is located 203 mi SW of Minsk. Written by Brest survivors and former residents >from many countries who contributed their memories of their hometown as a record for future generations, and as testament and loving tribute to the innocent Victims of the Shoah, it is a must read for researchers of the town and descendants of "Briskers." The list price is $56.95. Available at Amazon for around $41. Also available at Barnes & Noble and check the JewishGen website http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Brest.html for further information and non-U.S. sources. The second title is "Grayewo Memorial (Yizkor) Book" It is a translation of Grayeve yisker-bukh (Grayewo Memorial Book) Editor: Dr. George Gorin, New York. Originally Published by: United Grayever Relief Committee, 1950. Grajewo is located 114 mi NNE of Warsaw in Poland. Alternate names for the town are: Grajewo [Polish], Grayavah [Yiddish], Graevo [Russian], Grayeve, Grayevo. Jews have been living in Grajewo, in the province of Bialystok, Poland since the late 17th century. The 1765 census counted 83 Jewish people and by 1857, the number had grown to 1,457 comprising 76% of the town's population. By 1921, the percentage of Jews had decreased to 39%. During the Soviet occupation, between September 1939 and June 1941, Jewish businesses were nationalized. The Nazi invasion of Grajewo on 22 June 1941 marked the beginning of the devastation and horrors thrust upon the Jewish population. Within a few months, 1,600 to 2,000 Jews had been sent to the transit camp at Bogosza and on to the extermination camps at Treblinka and Auschwitz. The list price is $49.95, available on Amazon for around $36. Again, see http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Grajewo.html for further information and non-U.S. sources.

Need help with some unintelligible names
#hungary
edelman@...
Hi,
I have some questions about some unclear names and vital record forms. These are on Viewmate and originate in vital records online at Family Search, and I have provided links to the sources. For the following I have already consulted the GNDB (Given Names Database) on Jewish Gen, www.behindthename.com, Google, etc. The names are for relative born in Hanusfalu (Hanusovce nad Toplou) and may be Hungarian or Hungarian-ized German or Yiddish, etc. The forms are in German, >from mid-19th, but should be familiar for many. I would that the unknown-named person is the same - or at least if the name is the same - at these first two links. http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM34163 http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM34178 This third link is just about an unfamiliar name, "Hiczig": http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM34164 All of the other instructions, desires etc. are at the links. Please respond there if possible. Thank you! -- Todd Edelman Los Angeles Researching: KUNSTLER, SUSSHOLZ, RODER, WAHRMANN, ROTHMAN, WEISZ, GRUN, EDELMAN and others in Hanusovce nad Toplou and other ares in eastern Slovakia Moderator: Please use ViewMate to respond.

Searching for living relatives of Thomasiusstrasse, Berlin Stolperstein project
#germany
Judith Elam
In November 2013 I posted a message detailing how a Stolperstein
which I initiated and was laid almost two years ago, was the only one on the street and sparked a "fire" amongst the residents of that street to research and honor other victims who had once lived there too. I described the wonderful efforts of Oliver GEIGER and other residents of Thomasiusstrasse in Moabit, Berlin, who have banded together to organize and pay for the cost of Stolpersteine to be laid for all of them. They have now found 101 victims, and 65 residents are involved in this unprecedented and moving project. I have been assisting them to try and locate living relatives of these victims, and we have found quite a few, some of whom have already been to Berlin and have been housed in the very building their relative(s) used to live before deportation. Others will be arriving for their relative's Stolperstein ceremony. In all cases, the living relatives have been very moved and overwhelmed by this project. The first 39 stones will be laid on August 8th at 12.30 pm, the next batch in October, and the remainder in March 2015. After all 101 stones are laid on this short street, it will literally be plastered with them, and no doubt attract a lot of attention and emotion. We believe this is the first project of its kind in Berlin, but hopefully not the last. We hope that other residents on other streets will be moved and motivated to follow these people's shining determination to memorialize every victim who lived on their street. I am now posting the list of all 101 victims, in the hope that even more living relatives will be found and more information on the victims can be obtained. Please contact me privately at elamj@... if your relative is on the list. Please forgive the lack of all capital letters for the surnames - this is how I received the list!

Tarnopol 1910 Census Lindego Street
#galicia
Richard Cooper
A grateful mazeltov to Gesher Galicia and everybody who has worked so
hard to bring us the 1910 Census of Tarnopol, so carefully indexed, transcribed and translated - a shining example to us all of top-flight genealogical work! Thanks to you I have a list of the inhabitants of house 339, which had been the family home of my FINKELSTEIN ancestors since at least 1834, when my great-great-grandmother's younger sister Leja FINKELSTEIN was born there. However I have a question. On the 1910 Census it is noted that House 339 had been renamed Lindego 5. I can't seem to find a street called Lindego on any maps, either modern or the historical ones in your excellent Map Room. Does anyone know where exactly it was, and what is there today? TIA, best wishes and happy ancestor-spotting, Richard Cooper (NB: Not related to any COOPERs!)

Brest also produced Jacob Epstein the great Talmudist at the Hebrew University, Menachem Begin, and many other major religious, literary and political leaders. In 1923, Jews made up 60% of Brest's population of 60,000. Brest, Belarus is located 203 mi SW of Minsk. Written by Brest survivors and former residents >from many countries who contributed their memories of their hometown as a record for future generations, and as testament and loving tribute to the innocent Victims of the Shoah, it is a must read for researchers of the town and descendants of "Briskers." The list price is $56.95. Available at Amazon for around $41. Also available at Barnes & Noble and check the JewishGen website http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Brest.html for further information and non-U.S. sources.

Alternate names for the town are: Grajewo [Polish], Grayavah [Yiddish], Graevo [Russian], Grayeve, Grayevo. Jews have been living in Grajewo, in the province of Bialystok, Poland since the late 17th century. The 1765 census counted 83 Jewish people and by 1857, the number had grown to 1,457 comprising 76% of the town's population. By 1921, the percentage of Jews had decreased to 39%. During the Soviet occupation, between September 1939 and June 1941, Jewish businesses were nationalized. The Nazi invasion of Grajewo on 22 June 1941 marked the beginning of the devastation and horrors thrust upon the Jewish population. Within a few months, 1,600 to 2,000 Jews had been sent to the transit camp at Bogosza and on to the extermination camps at Treblinka and Auschwitz. The list price is $49.95, available on Amazon for around $36. Again, see http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Grajewo.html for further information and non-U.S. sources.

Bessarabia SIG #Bessarabia Latest Publications from Yizkor Books in Print
#bessarabia
Donald & Sandra Hirschhorn <sdh2381@...>
Recently, two new titles joined the ranks of hard cover books published by
the Yizkor Books in Print Project part of Yizkor Books Project of JewishGen, Inc. The first is: "Brest-Litovsk - Volume II Encyclopedia of the Jewish Diaspora" a translation of Brisk de-Lita: Encyclopedia Shel Galuyot. The original Yiddish volume was edited by Elieser Steinman and published in Jerusalem in 1958. The name of the town, Brest-Litovsk, indicates its link with Lithuania. Although founded by the Slavs in 1017 and invaded by the Mongols in 1241, it became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1319, and in 1569 it became the capital of the unified Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The town is also known as "Brisk," in Yiddish to the Jews who lived and thrived there for six centuries. Jewish "Brisk" had an illustrious history; the famous Brisker Yeshivah attracted scholars >from all over Europe. The list of Rabbis of Brest includes Solomon Luria and Joel Sirkes, in earlier periods, the Katzenellenbogens, and three generations of the Soloveitchik dynasty in more recent times. Brest also produced Jacob Epstein the great Talmudist at the Hebrew University, Menachem Begin, and many other major religious, literary and political leaders.

Hello Dena,
Meyer RABINOVITZ was naturalised French with his family on 1/11/1913. He was born 18/06/1863 in Kovno. He had a wife born POLIAKOFF 15/05/1869 in Doubrovno and a son Henri, born 7/01/1897 in Wilna. The decree is n° 118-2417. I didn't find any Joseph MINOR, but a Gabriel. Minor. Good luck. Anne-Marie Faraggi (Switzerland) Subject: Paris directories 1920-1940r From: denawhit@... Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2014 00:39:38 -0400 X-Message-Number: 1 Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of any online Paris directories for years 1920-1940. I tried looking at Gallica.org, but couldn't find any. I am specifically looking two relatives: Meyer RABINOVITZ (grandson of Rabbi Yitzchok Elchonon SPECTOR of Kovno), who I know was living in Paris in 1925. He was a jeweler. Joseph Alexis MINOR originally >from Moscow, moved to Paris about 1920-30. (A side point: I am unsure whether this is the same person as Osip MINOR, son of Rabbi Solomon MINOR, rabbi of Moscow, but he was definitely related to him. If anyone knows Osip's descendants, I would be able to confirm whether it is indeed Joseph Alexis.) Would appreciate any assistance.
