Name Moshe Boim. Father's name Oizer. Born 1904 in Bilgoraj, Poland. Occupation was merchant. Polish citizen before the war. During the war was in Bilgoraj. Died 1943 in Bilgoraj. Married P. ?.
Submitted by Yaakov Shuldiner living at Holon, Bakinom? 104. From the same city? as Oizer Boim (Alternatively it may say cousin of Oizer Boim). Submitted July? 22, 1952 in Holon.

The surname Boim or Bojm is the same as Boem or Baum but the pronunciation differs based on the area people lived in. The same is true with the father's name listed here as Oizer, but a more general Hebrew pronunciation would be Ozer (Oh-zer) which means helper in Hebrew;it's a pretty uncommon name. I can't make out the wife's name, it looks like it could be P. Hinda which would then be a given Yiddish name. But it could be a maiden name and something sounding somewhat similar. I also can't quite figure out the submitter's relationship, it looks like he crossed something out to indicate he is a relative but the words aren't clear if he is saying he's a cousin (literally son of uncle) of Oizer or from the same place (literally son of the city).

By the way these are all in Hebrew so you may get more eyes and potentially better interpretations if you change the request to translation from Hebrew. I think more people read Hebrew than Yiddish on here. Good luck:)
