Detail: Jews first settled in Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine) after its
foundation in 1778, and in 1804 the town was included in the Pale of
Settlement. The community numbered 376 in 1805 and 1,699 in 1847. With
the growth of the city in the second half of the 19th century Jews
began to move there >from other parts of Russia and played an important
role in its commerce and industry.

Pogroms occurred in Dnepropetrovsk and the vicinity on July 20-21,
1883, in which 350 homes and many Jewish shops were looted and destroyed.

By 1897 the Jewish population had increased to 41,240. Most of the
shops and houses in the city center were owned by Jews. There were
three Talmud Torah schools with 500 pupils, 885 studied in the
hadarim, and a yeshivah and 16 private schools were in operation. In
1860 a hospital was founded with 14 beds, growing to 29 in 1886. In
1880 an old age home was opened for the poor.

Pogroms again broke out on October 21=E2=80=9323, 1905, and 74 Jews were
killed, hundreds injured, and much property was looted and destroyed.
Local self-defense was organized in 1904, comprising 600 members. It
did much to protect the community.

In World War I and the civil war in Russia, thousands of Jews took
refuge in Dnepropetrovsk, which numbered 72,928 Jews in 1920. In the
Civil War (1917-20) the city changed hands a number of times,
suffering >from tributes, looting, rape, and murder. In June 1919 the
Denikin army raped about 1,000 women and in May 1919 the Grigoryev
band killed 150 Jews. After the establishment of Soviet rule, Jewish
community life ceased there as elsewhere in the Soviet Union. Zionist
activity was forbidden, and on September 18, 1922 about 1,000 were
arrested. The Jewish population numbered 62,073 in 1926

Dnepropetrovsk was occupied by the Germans on August 25, 1941. Thanks
to evacuation and flight, only about 17,000 Jews remained. In
September 179 were killed. On October 13, 13,000 Jews were
assembled and led to the botanical gardens, where they were murdered.
The remaining 2,000 Jews were executed at the end of 1941 and the
beginning of 1942. At the end of summer 1943 a unit of Operation Group
1005 opened the mass graves, burned the bodies, and dispersed the ashes.

The city was liberated on October 25, 1943, and many Jews returned.
According to the 1959 census there were 53,400 Jews living in
Dnepropetrovsk. In 1970 there was one synagogue still functioning in
the city. Subsequent census figures put the Jewish population at
45,622 in 1979 and 17,869 in 1989. Immigration to Israel diminished
the number significantly during the 1990s.

In the 1882 before the Baron de Hirsh Fund launched the Jewish Agricultural
Society, the Beersheeba colony in Kansas was funded and conceived by the
Hebrew Union Agricultural Society. This was the brainchild of Rabbi Isaac
Mayer Wise, founder of the American Jewish Reform Movement. Jews had to
flee Russia after Czar Alexander lll rescinded the more lenient Jewish
policies developed by his late father. Under the new edicts, Jews were
prohibited >from owning or leasing land and subject to pogroms.

Rabbi Wise funded the resettlement program with appeals through the American
Israelite publication. The US government promised via the Homestead Act,
160 acres to any citizen or would-be citizen who improved their acreage,
built a dwelling or resided there for five years. Beersheba community
members would homestead in Southwestern Kansas. By July 1882, 59 families
were selected by the Society to populate the settlement.

Beersheeba was not the only farming community to be established for Jews in
the Western U.S. Communities were settled in Colorado, North Dakota, and in
Oregon. Due to disputes the Beersheeba community started to seek their
fortunes elsewhere- although about half stayed in Beersheeba, but it ended
in 1887, but six other short-lived agricultural communities, were
established between 1883 and 1890 .

/Genealo-J, /publication of the Jewish Genealogical Society of France,
Issue 136, Winter 2018 has just been published.

The present issue contains a eulogy of Daniel Leeson, recently
deceased. He was not only a musician and musicologist but also an active
genealogist who published for our Society two important databases. He
was the husband of Rosanne Leeson, the present co-moderator of the
French-Sig of Jewishgen.

This issue begins by the memoirs of Antoine MAY, a glove maker
(1810-1899). Born in Hamburg in 1810, Antoine made and sold gloves there
before going to Amsterdam, Cologne, Aachen, Luneville (Lorraine), Paris,
Grenoble, and New York. The author provides a living account of his
tribulations and encounters until 1840 even though he still lived some
sixty years afterwards (Introduction by Bernard Lyon-Caen, translation

from German by Françoise Lyon-Caen).

Complementing these memoirs, Pierre-Andre Meyer explains in a separate
paper who are all the people quoted therein and who are their ancestors.
For instance, he draws the complete family tree of the TREFOUSSE family
(Trefousse is an unusual variant of DREYFUS) >from 1670 to the present
time. The Trefousse glove factory was seized by the Vichy government in
1940, restituted to its owners in 1944 and eventually closed its doors
in 1973.

Michel Gaspard is very proud of his maternal grandfather Paul LEVY
(1887-1962), a famous linguist. Paul Levy is born in Seebach, in Alsace,
which was then a part of the German Empire. In 1910 he settled in Paris
and was a student of Durkheim, Levy-Bruhl, Bergson and especially of
Charles Andler, the founder of the academic studies of German languages.
Paul Levy undertook the first complete study of the languages and
dialects of Alsace and of Lorraine. In 1914, Paul and his cousin Leo
deserted >from the German army and fought in the French Army. The author
gives Paul Levy’s ancestry, poor peddlers, butchers and bakers all
living in northern Alsace and also the ancestry of his wife Elise Weil
(1893-1962). The synagogue of Wissembourg, frequented by Paul in his
childhood, was destroyed by the Nazis in 1941. A new one, built in 1950,
is now transformed into an archive building. The street along this
building has been named "Paul Levy street" in November 2018.

Marianne Wolff tell us about her great-grandparents. Charles Philippe
Cahen (1849-1920), Alsatian polytechnician and engineer, his wife Lucie
Cohen (1858-1920) and their offspring. Charles Cahen, an officer in the
regular army ten years older than Alfred Dreyfus, was stationed in
Besancon, Fort de France, Saigon, Arras ... until his transfer to
Montpellier - far >from the Eastern borders - at the time of the Dreyfus
Affair. Charles is of Alsatian descent, his parents emigrated to Elbeuf
(Normandy) in 1872. The Parisian Lucie Cohen has her origins in Lorraine
and Germany. Charles and Lucie's two sons, Emile and Marcel Eugene,
were engineers >from the Ecole Centrale. Among his many activities Marcel
Eugene founded the publication " La Architecture d’aujourdhui" but died a
few days before its first issue.

Jean-Richard BLOCH (1884-1947) and Max JACOB (1876-1944) are both well
known French characters. Bloch was an historian, writer and a prominent
communist journalist. After World War II, he even became senator. Jacob
was a famous surrealist poet and writer. He became a Roman catholic in
1915 but was nevertheless arrested by the Nazis in 1944 and died in the
camp of Drancy just before his transfer to Auschwitz. Bernard Lyon-Caen
was surprised to find that, in spite of their very different way of life
and interests, they frequently corresponded. They actually were remote
cousins. The author traces their common ancestry in Lorraine and
previously in Germany.

began to move there >from other parts of Russia and played an important
role in its commerce and industry.

Pogroms occurred in Dnepropetrovsk and the vicinity on July 20-21,
1883, in which 350 homes and many Jewish shops were looted and
destroyed.

By 1897 the Jewish population had increased to 41,240. Most of the
shops and houses in the city center were owned by Jews. There were
three Talmud Torah schools with 500 pupils, 885 studied in the
hadarim, and a yeshivah and 16 private schools were in operation. In
1860 a hospital was founded with 14 beds, growing to 29 in 1886. In
1880 an old age home was opened for the poor.

Pogroms again broke out on October 21-23, 1905, and 74 Jews were
killed, hundreds injured, and much property was looted and destroyed.
Local self-defense was organized in 1904, comprising 600 members. It
did much to protect the community.

In World War I and the civil war in Russia, thousands of Jews took
refuge in Dnepropetrovsk, which numbered 72,928 Jews in 1920. In the
Civil War (1917-20) the city changed hands a number of times,
suffering >from tributes, looting, rape, and murder. In June 1919 the
Denikin army raped about 1,000 women and in May 1919 the Grigoryev
band killed 150 Jews. After the establishment of Soviet rule, Jewish
community life ceased there as elsewhere in the Soviet Union. Zionist
activity was forbidden, and on September 18-22, 1922 about 1,000 were
arrested. The Jewish population numbered 62,073 in 1926

Dnepropetrovsk was occupied by the Germans on August 25, 1941. Thanks
to evacuation and flight, only about 17,000 Jews remained. In
September 179 were killed. On October 13-14, 13,000-15,000 Jews were
assembled and led to the botanical gardens, where they were murdered.
The remaining 2,000 Jews were executed at the end of 1941 and the
beginning of 1942. At the end of summer 1943 a unit of Operation Group
1005 opened the mass graves, burned the bodies, and dispersed the
ashes.

The city was liberated on October 25, 1943, and many Jews returned.
According to the 1959 census there were 53,400 Jews living in
Dnepropetrovsk. In 1970 there was one synagogue still functioning in
the city. Subsequent census figures put the Jewish population at
45,622 in 1979 and 17,869 in 1989. Immigration to Israel diminished
the number significantly during the 1990s.

Dear Group,

Has anyone had success obtaining more recent death records >from Lancut,
and if so, did the record contain detail on parents and/or birthplace?

I am interested in finding records related to Sholem Langsam (1849 -1937)
who lived in Lancut, Poland. He was married and had 8 known children.
R' Sholem was a mohel and in the metal business. The Lancut yizkor book
says that he awoke at 2 or 3 every morning to daven in the synagogue. His
children were

Zvi Elimelech
Abraham
Naomi Gottlieb
Feivish
Jacob
Isaac
Golda
Sara Greenberg

This is partly in response to the person >from Australia who wrote about "for paid"
ancestry list of Fallen Jewish soldiers. The same book is online for free at the
website http://www.denkmalprojekt.org

My name is Eric Feinstein and I am a volunteer for the JOWBR of JewishGen.I have
had the privilege of assisting JewishGen to increase the German holdings in our
collection >from some 25,000 records five or six years ago to some 280,000 records
now (including Germany and the German records found under Poland-Prussia.)

Part of this project has been an effort to record German Jewish military burials

from WWI. This effort started some three years ago. We started with the RJF

(Reichsbund Juedischer Frontsoldaten--which is the same list as discussed above)
list and have used some 200-300 sources to record the burial sites and fates of the
German Jewish servicemen. The RJF list was corrected for errors--as it included
soldiers >from the French and K.u.K. armies and missing entries were added.

We have used cemetery records, archival research (many archives across Germany
have produced research projects documenting the fates of the local Jewish soldiers
on the 100th anniversary of WWI), memorial books, regimental histories, and
obituaries >from period newspapers >from Compact Memory and other sources.

The result is 5300+ burial places for the 12,000 German Jewish soldiers. The intent
is to eventually upload everything in the Gersig Database of Jewishgen and the
burial places in their respective places in the JOWBR. [JewishGen Online Worldwide
Burial Registry]

Note I also have a K.u.K. Jewish project for WWI soldiers but I have spend much
less time on it and there is no master list to work with. For that I have a list of
some 7800+ Jewish soldiers with about 4000 burial locations recorded.

Another note is that the http://www.germanjewishsoldiers.com website has been
broken for a long time and I tried to reach the owner of the site without any
success.

Anyone interested in this project can contact me directly.
