It's been a long long time since I needed to turn to JewishGen for my research.
But as before, the response was incredibly helpful. This time in my search for the Nachmann's and the Joseph's, I was just as amazed at the wonderful and enthusiastic replies that I received as I had been in the past. So thank you JewishGen and thanks to each and every one of you who jumped in so willingly and came up with the information I needed.and more. Gratefully, Peter Vanlaw pvanlaw@me.com

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page
#general
Bruce Drake <BDrake@...>
There were no good choices for Jews after Germany and the Soviet Union signed the
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 that carved up Poland, Lithuania and other countries into spheres of influence. (A main German aim in the pact was the "nonaggression" agreement between the two countries that allowed Germany to turn its attention to other targets - until Hitler ended it by attacking Soviet positions in Poland). As Germany tightened its grip on Poland, many Polish Jews sought refuge in Soviet-occupied Lithuania. Among them were the Drucker brothers who found themselves "lost, wet, hungry and exhausted" along the Polish-Lithuanian border. That was only the start of their hardships, according to "Residence in Siberia," a chapter >from the Yizkor book of Jordanow in southern Poland, 30 miles south of Krakow. First they were betrayed by a farmer at the border and turned over to the Soviets who detained them in prison and then condemned them to three years forced labor. After what seemed like a "never-ending" trip of many weeks in railway cars with barred windows, they arrived at a camp where lack of food, lack of medicine and harsh weather caused many prisoners to be sick and physically drained by the hard work. This is the story of the Druckers' ordeal and that of those who suffered along with them, and how they learned to cope and survive..

Searching: Lilli (Lily), daughter of Emma (nee Krause) and Otto Heller
#austria-czech
tomnavon@...
Dear friends and colleagues,
As part of my research about Otto Heller (1897-1945), the Austrian communist of Jewish origin, I am looking for a contact with his only daughter Lilli, or any of her descendants or relatives. Lilli (or Lily) was born probably in the late 1920's. In the late 1930's she was in exile in France together with her parents. In 1943 Otto was deported to Auschwitz, and Lilli with her mother Emma to Ravensbrueck (a women concentration camp in Germany). Otto did not survive, but Lilli and Emma were liberated and came back to live in Paris. Since the information about Heller is scarce - any connection to the family could be very helpful. Please pass this message over to anyone that might have any idea how to reach Lilli or other relatives. If you have any information that could lead to Lilli, or another relative - please contact me through tomnavon@gmail.com Gratefully, Tom Navon University of Haifa Israel

Memorial Wall in Pinkus Synagogue, Prague
#austria-czech
macgregor.eve@...
As I posted this request in 2011, without any response., I am
reposting in the hope that some information is available.. Thank You in anticipation. Having visited the Pinkus Synagogue in Prague I was Very Moved and impressed with the detailed Information of names of the 77297 victims displayed on the walls. But I was disappointed not to be able to find some of my family listed. And have subsequently found out additional members whom may have been listed. Does anyone know, if there is an list off all these names available. Or >from where these names and details were obtained and if we are able to access this information on line. As I live in Australia, I will most likely not have another opportunity to visit Prague again. I have searched the Yad Vashem website but still have names missing.

(Austria) Legislation In Parliament Permitting Dual Citizenship for the Descendants of Austrian Holocaust Survivors
#austria-czech
Jan Meisels Allen
Upon reading the article in JC News about Austria preparing to offer
citizenship to Holocaust victim's descendants, referring to a statement by Austrian Chancellor Kurz, I contacted the Austrian Counsel General to the United States in Washington D.C., Josef Prelec for confirmation. See: https://tinyurl.com/y7qz56ef original url: https://www.thejc.com/news/world/austria-to-offer-passports-to-holocaust-vic tims-children-and-grandchildren-sebastian-kurz-confirms-1.471942 . Counsel General Prelec advised me that according to the information published on the website of the Austrian Parliament, an amendment of the Austrian Citizenship Law was introduced as a Private Members' Bill on 25 October 2018 (see https://www.parlament.gv.at/PAKT/VHG/XXVI/A/A_00438/index.shtml). While he is unable to say when the new regulations will be implemented, the legislative process for granting citizenship to descendants of Austrian Victims of the Holocaust are underway. The aforementioned link to the Austrian Parliament is only in German. It will open to a page that gives information on the bill and another pdf with the bill- also in German. You can translate the bill by copying and pasting the words into a translation service such as google translate, https://translate.google.com. The bill is Citizenship Act 1985, amendment (438 / A). It is very short and basically says to amend the Citizenship Act of 1985 permitting dual citizenship to " the Victims of National Socialism of Austria the present laudable Application should be taken without further delay". It has been assigned to the Internal Affairs Committee and the author of the bill is by Member Stephanie Krisper. The bill does not enumerate which descendants even though the JC Article says children and grandchildren. Please do not ask me for any further information as this is all I know as of November 5, 2018, the date of Counsel General Prelec's email response to me and the above is all that is on the Parliament's website as of this posting.

Yizkor Book Project, October 2018
#austria-czech
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I could not send out this Yizkor Book Project report without relating to the recent horrendous murders in Pittsburgh. In a project which deals intrinsically with the tragic consequences of Jewish hatred, it is always disturbing to see that this same senseless hatred continues to this very day. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families of the victims and, in fact, to all the Jewish community of Pittsburgh and pray that events of this kind don't reoccur there and anywhere else. And now to the report. Whilst this month we can't announce the completion of a Yizkor book translation, I can say that there are several that are just a whisker's way >from completion. I'm quite certain that I will be able to pass on good news about several books in coming reports. I am pleased, however, to announce that the Yizkor Books in Print Project recently published the "Book of Stryj" on Stryj, Ukraine. The book was coordinated over the years by Mike Kalt and its translation encouraged vigorously by Uriel Zur Shutzer z"l >from the Stryj organization in Israel who sadly passed away before the project was completed. In the final stages of this project, we were extremely fortunate that Susan Rosin stepped up and took on the considerable task of translating a major part of this book, enabling its completion and now, its publishing. Another published book made available recently by the YBIP Project is "We Remember Lest the World Forget" covering the Holocaust in Belarus and, in particular, the unique history of the Minsk Ghetto. The translation of the original Russian book was facilitated by The Together Plan, a UK Charity, and was kindly presented to the YB Project to be published. Last month, the book was also made available online and appears in our Translations Index under "Minsk, Belarus". Purchase details of both of these books may be found via the link the Yizkor books in Print link appearing at the end of this report, as does the link to our Translations Index. A recent addition to the list of our Translation Funds is the book "Memorial Book of the Community of Siedlce" covering Siedlce, Poland. This translation fund, like the many others, is our way of enabling those with family connections and interest in a particular community, to take part in a group effort to financially support the translation of the book relating to its history and people. A link list to this fund and all the other current funds appears at the end of this report and please see if you are able to contribute to one of these projects providing very unique information on our lost communities. And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during October: We have added in one new book: - Minsk, Belarus (We Remember Lest the World Forget) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/weremember/weremember.html We have added in 8 new entries: - Hanusovce nad Topl'ou, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Slovakia) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo172.html - Jezor, Poland (Sosnowiec and the Surrounding Region in Zaglembie) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sosnowiec/Sos357.html - Marijampole, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_263.html - Pilviskiai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_352.html - Sarata, Ukraine (Akkerman and the towns of its district; memorial book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/akkerman/akk337.html - Taurage, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_499.html - Utena, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_566.html - Virbalis, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_661.html And we have continued to update 19 of our existing projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The chronicle of Bialystok) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok/Bialystok.html - Budanov, Ukraine (Book of Budzanow) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Budanov/Budanov.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Dynow, Poland (The Memorial Book of Jewish Dinov) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dynow1/dynow1.html - Kamyanyets, Belarus (Memorial Book of Kamenets Litovsk, Zastavye, and Colonies) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kamenets/Kamenets.html - Kovel, Ukraine (Kowel; Testimony and Memorial Book of Our Destroyed Community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kovel1/kovel1.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Monor, Hungary (Bound by Fate: In Memory of the Jewish Community of Monor) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Monor/Monor.html - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memories >from Nowy-Dwor) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nowy_dwor1/nowy_dwor1.html - Przemysl, Poland (Przemysl memorial book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/przemysl/przemysl.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Staszow, Poland (The Staszow book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/staszow/staszowp.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - The Jacob Rassen Story www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JacobRassen/JacobRassen.html - Turobin, Poland (The Turobin book; in memory of the Jewish community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Turobin/Turobin.html - Wolomin, Poland (Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wolomin/wolomin.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Boris Berko WOLSKI and Moise TCHERNIAKOWSKY

Lemberski Evelyne
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am looking for the date of birth and death for Boris Berko WOLSKI born in 1896 in Brest LITOWSK who is one of the founders of the school colony and founder of the friendly Brest Litowsk. He departed Casablanca on board the liner Guin to join the United States on 30/07/1941 and arrived at the port of New York on 15/08/1941. According to a ministerial decree of 03/11/1942 his travel agency license was withdrawn to Boris WOLSKI. His travel agency was called "the tourist" and was located at 9 boulevard Saint Martin in Paris. I am looking for the date of death of Moise TCHERNIAKOWSKY born 30 October 1879 in Brest Litowsk. I also would like to know where this man is buried. Thanking you for your help, Evelyne LEMBERSKI evelynelemberski@yahoo.fr Saint Maurice France Moderator: Only last names of people are in all upper case.
