"The Cheerful Baker," >from the Yizkor book of Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland is
really two stories. The first part recounts Reb Itzhak Leib Rusak' work as the
town's baker, using his oven to cook the cholent brought to him by the
townspeople for the Sabbath, to baking the matzoh for Passover, and all the
elaborate preparations that required. But he was also a deeply devout and
learned man who would habitually say, "A person does not live just to bake
bread."

The part of the chapter you will read here shows his strength and courage as
the Nazis closed in on the Jews of the town.

If you have not been to the NY Municipal Archives recently you are in for a
thrilling surprise on your next visit. Remember those antiquated microfilm
readers? Well they are being phased out.

The Archives has introduced modern computers that permit you to go directly
to the images of most (not all) of the vital records they hold (birth,
marriage, death). The images are much clearer than the old microfilm too.

It does not totally replace the microfilm or indexes but you can actually
search the documents by type (marriage, death, birth) and as much info as
you know and it presents a list of the records found. So in theory you
might be able to skip the index all together. Some records are missing

from the computer and it does not include the City Clerk marriage licenses.

The computers also have internet access so link into databases like
FamilySearch (you need your own subscription passwords to any accounts the
Archives does not have accounts for you to use.) I ran into a problem
this week when I was there so I popped on to the marriage license index
images and figured out the problem immediately all >from the same computer.

Eventually you will even be able to print >from these computers although
it will go into a master account so you pay for them before you can get them.

It's amazing ... it's a major advancement for working with the records.

The Open Archives newsletter >from the Netherlands mentions that it is
looking for assistance in verifying missing persons lists >from the Dutch
Government Gazette.

History
After World War II there were thousands of Dutch people, especially Jews
who were not officially determined to have died. Issues such as inheritance
and other issues caused "complications". In June 1949, there was an "act"
which became law, containing provisions about the preparation of deeds of
death of missing persons came into effect. It was recognized that those who
went to concentration camps were unlikely to have survived but no death deed
could be made. This law stipulated that the Minister of Justice could have
a death certificate drawn up at the registry office. The ministry was
responsible for registration and investigation of the missing persons, so
that if there was a minimal chance the missing person would show up later.
The results of the search were published in the Dutch Government Gazette.

The Request for Assistance
The Royal Library has converted the text that appeared in newspapers. As it
is in OCR the quality is far >from perfect. Open Archives is asking for
help in checking and correcting the data.

To read more and find out how to help go to:
https://www.openarch.nl/indexing/vermisten
You must be logged into Open Archives to help-this is not difficult and does
not require any credit card information, just sign in name and password

The double checked lists will be available on Open Archives and will be made
available for use as open data.
