In his message of 11-10-00 Herut Schlomoff asked for information about
what happened during WWII to Simferopol's "14,000 Jews," among whom
numbered his great grandmother and her daughters.

A book which discusses the shoah at Simferopol is Raul Hilberg's "The
Destruction of European Jews" Holmes & Meier Publishers, 1985. (I don't
have this book at hand so I can't tell the ISBN number without prowling
for it on the internet.)

If Mr.Schlomoff can read French, he might want to go to:

http://www.phdn.org/negation/rassinier/hilbergsimferopol.html

where there is a critical discussion of the revionist Rassinier who, of
course, disputes Hilberg's figures and account of the slaughter of
Simferopol's Jews.

For the murders in Simferopol on December 13,14, and 15,1941, Martin
Gilbert gives the number as 14,300, on page in his book " The Holocaust"
Henry Holt and Company, Inc., 1985, ISBN 0-8050-0348-7. His footnote for
von Manstein's directive for the "actions" refers to the Nuremberg
Military Tribunal documents.

Another website Mr. Schlomoff may want to visit is:

http://www.pgonline.com/electriczen/trials/simferopol.html

where he can read the views and report of the Military Tribunal II, in
Nuremburg, concerning the actions of the Einsatzgruppen at Simferopol.

At:

http://motlc.wiesenthal.com/text/x30/xm3026.html

Mr. Schlomoff can read a brief account offered by the Wiesenthal Center
about the destruction of Simferopol's Jews which offered by the
Wiesenthal Center.

While still online, I found an address for today's Simferopol's Jewish
Community to which Mr. Schlomoff may want to write:

Chief Rabbi , Yitschok Lipshitz
24 Mironovo St.
Simferopol 333001, Ukraine
Email: simferopol@fjc.ru

Finally, even though there are no Family History Centers in Israel, Mr.
Schlomoff should know that, according to Jewishgenner Steven Weiss's
Ukraine group message of 9-20-00, there exist 34 microfilms of Jewish
Vital Records for Simferopol. Details about these microfilms can be found
at:

http://www.familysearch.org/Search/searchcatalog.asp

and Mr. Weiss advises to use this description to learn details about the
films:
"Topic: Ukraine, Krym, Simferopol (Simferopol) - Jewish records
Titles: Vital records, 1853-1917 Jewish Congregation of Simferopol
(Tavrida province)"

I have had trouble identifying the town written down as my g-g-grandmother's
last residence on her 1898 passenger manifest. It looks something
like "Chaszazarati."

The town is most likely in Volhynia or near Odessa. The last
few letters of the word are particularly hard for me to read.
I've used the ShtetlSeeker and "Where Once We Walked," but I
am still not sure what town this is.

I've scanned the word as written on the manifest and placed it
on the JewishGen ViewMate, where it has been labelled as file
VM038. The URL is:
http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/toview14.html#vm038

(I have been having a *great* deal of trouble posting this message,
causing a delay of several days since I uploaded the scan on
November 7. ViewMate removes scans after seven days, so there
are only a few days left before mine is removed).

I'd really appreciate any help that anyone can provide!

Thanks.

Thanks to the persistence of JoAnne Vanett, we have an answer >from AOL

JewishGen is seeking the advice of a programmer on whether it is possible

The moderation team for the discussion group is also going to experiment

I have now hired four different researchers in Poland and
Ukraine. I have had mixed results--most very good, and one
very bad. But I have learned one thing: In my particular
cases, the most reputable researchers stated a fee (often as
a per-hour rate; plus expenses) and collected all or most of
the fee after the research was complete--rather than stating a
single large fee and collecting it up front, before any research
has begun. Please note that there are many researchers around
the world. My remarks refer only to my specific experiences.
I am not attempting to make generalizations, state an unbending
rule, or recommend proper behavior for researchers to follow.

Some time ago I queried if anyone new of a Brookman family consisting of a
Mother and three daughters who moved >from Denver to California sometime in
the 1940s. They probably settled in Los Angeles or perhaps in San Francisco.
I have had no response, and am trying again. Hopefully, Bennett J. Sukonick
