Pittsburgh Cemetery Project
#general
MNewman714@...
With regard to Connie fisher Newhan's accolades to volunteer
Robert of the Pittsburgh Jewish Cemetery Project, I would like to add the last names of Robert and Sara Zavos. They are members of JGS Pittsburgh and diligent volunteers of the Rauh Jewish Archives of the Pittsburgh History Center, who sponsor this cemetery project. Yasher Koach! Marilyn Newman JGS Pittsburgh, PA/Palm Beach County, FL original messaage---I want to thank fellow genner Robert and the efforts of the Pittsburgh Jewish Cemetery Project for finding and sending me images of tombstones belonging to several family members buried at West View Cemetery in Pittsburgh. I had tried twice to 'purchase' these photos. Both times I was told they would be in the mail within days! Needless to say, I never received the photos. A while back, I noticed a posting about the Pittsburgh Jewish cemetery project and wrote to Robert. Yesterday, he e-mailed me images of all the headstones. He is a volunteer for the Pittsburgh Jewish cemetery project and tells me he and his wife have recorded about 3,000 to 4,000 tombstones in the last two years......

Yiddish Theater
#yiddish
Nicole Berger <nikkisberger@...>
Hello,
I am curious if there is any way to find out what plays my late grandfather acted in during the 20's and 30's in New York. He was just a kid in those days and he insisted that his first words were spoken on stage when he yelled out "Mama!" in a dramatic scene where his mother is being taken away. He said he could remember hearing the ladies in the audience crying. If there is any way your organization could help me find this out it would be greatly appreciated. (His name was Jack BERGER). P.s. My interest has been sparked recently because I am writing a play based on a Yiddish Folktale, which will have a reading at the Workman's Circle in Los Angeles this fall.

JTA story today on "defective" family trees
#general
Schelly Dardashti <dardasht@...>
Dear Genners,
There is a very interesting story on today's http://www.jta.org under Features. Look for FOCUS ON ISSUES Hitler made eugenics famous, but he took it >from United States by Edwin Black It addresses the American roots of eugenics, Hitler and Holocaust. Relevant to genealogists is information on a lab complex established in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York by the Carnegie Institution, which stored millions of index cards on individuals. The cards, on ordinary Americans, says the author, indicates the "removal of families, bloodlines and whole peoples." And further says that implementation would include identifying defective family trees, with segregation and sterilization to remove these bloodlines. Black is the author of "IBM and the Holocaust," and the story end note indicates that this article is adapted >from "War Against the Weak," which was just released. I have no commercial interest in the story or the book, other than to recommend a previously unknown (to me) story. Best wishes, Schelly Talalay Dardashti JFRA Israel dardasht@barak-online.net

KIEV YIDDISH THEATER
#yiddish
nathen gabriel <uy9p1@...>
I'm a new member and also a member of the Ukraine SIG.
A cousin of my grandfather, Berta SCHWIDKAY/SHVIDKOY born c.1885 was an actress in the Kiev Yiddish Theater probably >from about 1910. Our last contact with her was in 1925 when my grandfather's brother immigrated to Canada. I would like to know whether actresses in the Kiev Yiddish Theater went by their maiden names or their married names. If SCHWIDKAY/SHVIDKOY was her maiden name then her mother's maiden name was MILEVSKY. If SCHWIDKAY/SHVIDKOY was her married name then her maiden may have been MILEVSKY. Her mother or father was born in Zhashkov which is also where she may have been born. If anyone has any biographical material at all on Berta SCHWIDKAY/SHVIDKOY I would very much appreciate receiving it. Thank you.

Searching:Maurice HERSCHLIKOWITZ
#general
Sara <esterbrook@...>
I am looking for a Maurice HERSCHLIKOWITZ. His brother was Jozsif
Herschlikowitz. Jozsif became a naturalized citizen in 1928 and changed his name to Joseph HERSCH and resided in Chicago, IL, USA until his death in January of 1941. The last known address that I have for Maruice was 16 Rue Bleu 16, Paris France and was on an envelope addressed to my grandfather, Joseph. I don't have the date of the letter but my guess it could not have been past 1941. I do not speak French so I am a little unsure of how to research this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Sara R. Rice esterbrook@cox.net Palos Verdes, CA U.S.A. MODERATOR NOTE:Information specific to the person being searched should be posted privately.
