Shalom,

As we head out into the long hot summer or the long cold winter, for those
on the other side of the planet, I have to report that June was yet another
"hyperactive" month for the Yizkor Book Project. Happily, quite a large
number of new books and entries were added and notably, a new Translation
project has been added this month for Dej, Romania (Des, Hungary) and we are
looking for financial support of this project in order to allow those of you
with roots there, to read about the people and thriving culture that existed
before the Holocaust. If you feel able to assist in helping to finance this
or any of our currently running translation projects at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23
, your help would be much appreciated. The importance of these funds is
clearly illustrated in this month's updates, half of which are projects in
our Translations Funds.

June also saw the addition of a large number of necrologies which not only
immortalize the names of our loved ones but also can provide their family
relationships, professions, dates of birth and more or these people. As
such, these lists are also an invaluable genealogical resource and to assist
in research, the names >from the necrologies are periodically added to the
searchable Yizkor Book Necrology Database at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/yizkor/ These days, this important but
time-taking work of adding to the database is carried out by Max Heffler,
who also carries out a myriad of other tasks for JewishGen and elsewhere. I
would truly like to spread the heavy load which these days falls heavily on
Max's shoulders alone and am eager to hear >from any of you who have some
time to help in preparing the lists in Excel which are then added to the
database.

As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 9

While the divorced persons without children do not contribute to the
heritage of the family, nevertheless their parents, children by another
parent and siblings are part of the family as it existed at the time of the
marriage. I believe it is useful to know about them. Otherwise you may have
a one-sided family lacking information about the relatives by marriage as
they were at the time. If someone refers to "Uncle Sam" and you show no such
uncle you are not giving the full picture of the family.

When I visited my ancestral town of Makow Mazowiecki a few years ago, I
found that the local bus station had been built where the Jewish cemetery
had previously existed. All one could see was a large paved over area for
buses. Gravestones had been used as paving stones (face down fortunately).
A local resident has made it his business to retrieve these stones and a
memorial cairn was erected.

It is notable that the synagogue also was destroyed and is now an empty
space in the town. Who did these acts? Even if done by local citizens, it
would not and probably could not have been done without the Nazi occupation.
I don't believe the Nazis didn't care, at least not in this place. Not only
was the Jewish population removed and killed, but their artifacts were also
destroyed.

It appears that my simple statement that the Nazis did not care about Jewish
cemeteries because the Jews there were already dead, seems to have
triggered a number of dissenting opinions. Basically, I was referring to the
Jews themselves and not the cemeteries or gravestones.

Referring to the photograph referenced above, it appears to me that the
Jewish cemetery was destroyed by bombs or artillery shells during combat and
not by a deliberate act by the Nazis. Even the caption says, Wartime
Destruction which could mean almost anything.

As a combat veteran of World War II, in France and Germany, I can attest
to the fact that a lot of destruction occurred everywhere in Europe and
cemeteries were no exception.

MODERATOR NOTE: This discussion thread has run its course and is straying beyond

It appears that my simple statement that the Nazis did not care about Jewish
cemeteries because the Jews there were already dead, seems to have
triggered a number of dissenting opinions. Basically, I was referring to the
Jews themselves and not the cemeteries or gravestones.

Referring to the photograph referenced above, it appears to me that the
Jewish cemetery was destroyed by bombs or artillery shells during combat and
not by a deliberate act by the Nazis. Even the caption says, Wartime
Destruction which could mean almost anything.

As a combat veteran of World War II, in France and Germany, I can attest
to the fact that a lot of destruction occurred everywhere in Europe and
cemeteries were no exception.

MODERATOR NOTE: This discussion thread has run its course and is straying beyond
the mission of this forum: Jewish Genealogy. Further posts will not be
entertained unless they directly relate to Jewish Genealogy.

Dear Genners,

I would like to say a big thank you to all who responded to my request for
a tombstone photograph in a Stockholm cemetery.

A wonderful person has already been to the cemetery and I am now in possession
of photographs.

Thank you all again.

Dear All

With the enormous amount of assistance given by readers of this list I was
able to trace much of the lives of three great uncles who emigrated to New
York >from Obrigheim in Germany. However I have had little success in finding
their descendants. The brief details of each family are:

Simon EMANUEL. Arrived firstly in 1884 (San Francisco) , later returned
home, studied, married Eugenia and went to New York in 1905. There were two
children:
1. Paul (aka Edward P),born 1906, a lawyer & Immigration Judge who married
Dorothy Silverman in later life. He died in 1997. Was there an earlier
marriage and children?
2. Helen born 1919 no definitive further trace found.

Adolf EMANUEL. Arrived New York in 1940 with wife Johanna. Adolf seems to
have died within a few months and Johanna in 1978. They had one son:
Erich, born 1903 and arrived in New York in 1938 with wife Trude. He died
1964 and she in 2001. The name was changed to EDEN. Their son:
Hans (aka John), born 1933, became an Opthalmologist. I understand that his
partner was male but there may have been adopted children.

Eugen EMANUEL. Arrived in New York in 1935, with wife Flora and their two
children following in 1936. I have not traced either of them further. The
two sons are:
1. Werner (aka Donald), born 1921, also no further trace.
2. Cola (aka Nick C) born 1924. He died in WW2 in "The Rheims Accident" of
1945. So possibly no wife or children.

Does anyone know of these families? If so I would be delighted to hear >from
them!

Hi,

Zablotow is currently known as Zabolotiv, Western Ukraine at
4828 2517. This Jewish community was located within Sniatyn
district in Stanislawow Province.

"Brezovica" - most probably Berezhnitsa (ex Bereznica) located
at 4817 2522, some 15 miles distance >from Zabolotiv.

Don't Pass Up the Resource Center at The Conference!

This year’s Resource Center is a real benefit to researchers, and definitely
should not be overlooked. It's a valuable place to spend time studying maps
for ancestral towns, reviewing computerized surname indexes, and searching
through a wide variety of databases to fill in gaps in your research. It's a
"problem worth having" because it's virtually guaranteed to compete with your
equally strong desire to attend Conference sessions, network, see Judaic
films, visit vendors, etc. (You also will be able to avoid going outside
into the August heat of Washington by conducting your research in the comfort
of the Grand Hyatt, and still be close to other Conference features you want
to catch!)

The Resource Center also will be a lively, "happening" place to be because
virtually EVERY Conference attendee will visit the Resource Center! How can
you pass that up? (And when you do come by, we suggest you bring a listing
of your "research goals," the specific surnames, towns, or dates you’re
researching so that you can spend your time more wisely.)

Where’s what this year's Resource Center consists of:
- Carefully selected reference materials, specialized archival
materials, and maps (laminated and available on long tables) >from the
hosting organization, the Jewish Genealogy Society of Greater Washington
(JGSGW)’s extensive library collection;
- 5 PC computers dedicated to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
(USHMM) Central Names Index (CNI). That index will help inform attendees'
Holocaust-era research and be a major aid when conducting research at the
Museum itself; and
- 35 additional PCs loaded with links to websites usually
accessible only through subscription or membership.
- Translation Services located in an adjacent room, with a free
20-minute appointment for conference attendees who sign up at the
Conference, its schedule to be posted.

The Resource Center will be open during these days and hours:
Sunday, August 14, >from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Monday, August 15, >from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Thursday, August 18, >from 7:30 a.m.– 5:30 p.m.
Friday, August 19, >from 7:30 a.m. – 11 a.m.

We'll have a large number of links available to both free and subscription

I've posted a vital record (ship manifest >from the ship Deutschland,
departing Hamburg, 25 August 1900) in German for which I need a few
loose translations.

My g-grandmother, Hanne ADLER (>from Kisvarda, Hungary), immigrated to
the US on this ship. She is the second to last entry in the image. I
would like a loose translation of the headers for columns 8 and 9, as
well as the entries in those columns for Hanne ADLER. The entry in
column 9 seems to be a "ditto" to the entry above, but I cannot
read/translate it. You will likely need to open the scan in a separate
window in order to see it at a large enough size.

The image is on ViewMate at the following address:

As you can see, this year's Resource Center is abundantly filled with
versatile research tools. Please come by the Resource Center: you'll thank
yourself!

Books and archival materials can be checked out for use by turning in a
government-issued picture ID to be left with Resource Center staff. This
ensures that materials are returned. No one will be permitted to leave the
room with library materials.

But you do have to be a Conference registrant to use the maps, books,
archival materials, and computerized databases there. With that in mind,
Conference registration rates are very flexible and include full week or
single day registration, as well as discount rates for spouses/companions,
college and high school students. You also can arrange for Grand Hyatt
Washington hotel lodging through the Conference website.

For further information, please contact info@dc2011.org. The Conference
website is www.dc2011.org.

See you in August!

Don't Pass Up the Resource Center at The Conference!

This year’s Resource Center is a real benefit to researchers, and definitely
should not be overlooked. It's a valuable place to spend time studying maps
for ancestral towns, reviewing computerized surname indexes, and searching
through a wide variety of databases to fill in gaps in your research. It's a
"problem worth having" because it's virtually guaranteed to compete with
your equally strong desire to attend Conference sessions, network, see
Judaic films, visit vendors, etc. (You also will be able to avoid going
outside into the August heat of Washington by conducting your research in
the comfort of the Grand Hyatt, and still be close to other Conference
features you want to catch!)

The Resource Center also will be a lively, "happening" place to be because
virtually EVERY Conference attendee will visit the Resource Center! How can
you pass that up? (And when you do come by, we suggest you bring a listing
of your "research goals," the specific surnames, towns, or dates you’re
researching so that you can spend your time more wisely.)

Where’s what this year's Resource Center consists of:
- Carefully selected reference materials, specialized archival
materials, and maps (laminated and available on long tables) >from the
hosting organization, the Jewish Genealogy Society of Greater Washington
(JGSGW)’s extensive library collection;
- 5 PC computers dedicated to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
(USHMM) Central Names Index (CNI). That index will help inform attendees'
Holocaust-era research and be a major aid when conducting research at the
Museum itself; and
- 35 additional PCs loaded with links to websites usually
accessible only through subscription or membership.
- Translation Services located in an adjacent room, with a free
20-minute appointment for conference attendees who sign up at the
Conference, its schedule to be posted.

The Resource Center will be open during these days and hours:
Sunday, August 14, >from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Monday, August 15, >from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Tuesday, August 16, >from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, August 17, >from 7:30 a.m.- 9 p.m.
Thursday, August 18, >from 7:30 a.m.– 5:30 p.m.
Friday, August 19, >from 7:30 a.m. – 11 a.m.

We'll have a large number of links available to both free and subscription
(free at the Conference) genealogy-related websites. These will be on the
Resource Center's 35 computers, and be available for all SIX DAYS of
the Conference.
