4/17/2024 2:10 PM כעת אני מחפש מידע וחומר על חבר נעורים של סבא רבה שלי שמו של החבר היה יחיאל מאיר ב"ח, שם הוריו אברהם צבי ומינדל. החבר והוריו נרצחו ע"י הנאצים ולא נשאר מהם זכר הי"ד [ככל שידוע לי] אני רוצה להעמיד להם זכר בספר שלי – אותו אני מוציא על סבא רבה שלי [הרב יחזקאל מילשטיין].
ביקשתי חומר מהארכיון הממשלתי בלודז' וקיבלתי כרטסת מהגטו ובו מסמכים בגרמנית.
אודה לך מאוד מאוד אם תוכלו באדיבותך הרבה לעזור להנציח את הקדושים בספרי ע"י שאוכל להביא עליהם כמה שיותר מידע.
העזרה שאשמח לקבל:
1. תאריך רציחתם/שילוחם למחנה מוות.
2. תאריך לידה של האנשים המוזכרים לעיל.
3. שמות בני משפחתם - אשה ילדים ופרטים מזהים
4. במידה וקיים מספר זהות ותאריך הנפקת תעודת זהות.
בתודה רבה ובהוקרה
יחזקאל מילשטיין

4/17/2024 2:09 PM This is a page from a Rabbinical death record from Vilnius in 1894. The record of interest should be the second one, M345. I am trying to figure out if it is my great great grandfather, Mayer Levin. The age and father's name are correct, but I thought that he lived another 8 years or so...

Ideally, I would like to have both the Russian and Hebrew (?) translated to compare what they say.

I have the translated info from LitvakSig - but want everything that can be extracted from the original.

Thank you so much! 		View the post with its 3 responses

106765 Photo Identification

4/17/2024 2:08 PM Can anyone help identifying anything in this image? For example, where this house may be, when it might have been taken?
There is no information on the back of the photograph, which came from a box of old family photos.
The family lived in Latvia and Lithuania, near the towns of Rokiskis and Subate.

106764 Photo Identification

4/17/2024 2:07 PM I would like help identifying the children in this photograph - or at least the time period and place where this was taken.
The only information the back, which is formatted like a postcard, are the words "FOTO BAYER".
My family came from Lithuania, but close to the border with Latvia and they moved back and forth between the countries, so it could be Latvia or Lithuania where the picture was taken.
With thanks, in advance! 		View the post with its 1 response

4/17/2024 2:05 PM I have transcribed most of it, but am having a hard time reading the father’s name. Is it Osman? Hausman? Also, is Golda correct as the second name of the deceased?

4/17/2024 2:05 PM this writing is on the back of a photograph belonging to my extended family who emigrated to the US from Ukraine (then Russia) at the beginning of the 20th century. The photo is of a young couple - could be a wedding photo perhaps. I understand the name Hershel appears in the writing. It would be wonderful to have the rest translated into English if at all possible. With thanks! View the post, there are no responses
