95719 Translation - Hebrew

10/20/2021 4:52 PM This should be the first part of an interview with a survivor of the holocaust who was imprisoned in a forced labor camp in Austria. Since I don't know any Hebrew maybe someone could help me to figure out if the Town "Hauskirchen" is mentioned or the camp itself? It would mean a lot for the work on this unknown camp if someone could tell me what this first part is about. Thank you very much for your help! View the post with its 2 responses

95706 Translation - Polish

10/20/2021 4:50 PM Any mention of anyone's ages, parents' given names, wife's maiden name, whether Fiszel is listed as Symon Fiszel or just Fiszel, his occupation, whether Fiszel is described as a widower and/or if he had prior children. View the post with its 1 response
95707 Translation - Polish

10/20/2021 4:50 PM (1) Fiszel's occupation. (I was told the record says that Ruchla Laja's father Icek was a day labourer, but does it say that Fiszel was also a day labourer? He remarried later that year and THAT document says he was a baker, so trying to resolve the inconsistency since it is almost certainly the same person.
(2) As best I can decipher, the document seems to refer to both Ruchla Laja and Ruchli Lai. Would like to confirm and if the difference is explained somehow by the context used. Thank you.

Thank you!

95709 Translation - Yiddish

10/20/2021 4:50 PM Commentary believed to be in Yiddish script found in a Hebrew Bible belonging to my GF. He was born in Riga Latvia in 1874. He was said to have been a self-proclaimed biblical scholar who often assisted a local Protestant pastor prepare his weekly sermon in the early 1900s. If this is translatable, there are a dozen or more other notes written on envelopes and small sheets of paper which I can submit. The image may be upside-down.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.It is much appreciated.

95702 Interpretation

10/20/2021 4:50 PM This is my Great Grandmother's civil wedding certificate.

I am trying to find out more about the Rabbi who officiated (surname - Woolf, first name unclear, perhaps Wm. denoting William?) and to identify the synagogue in which the marriage might have taken place. Does anyone have any information pertaining to a Rabbi Woolf, who officiated marriages in Johannesburg in the 1930s?

Help deciphering the address listed for my Great Grandmother would be helpful. It looks to be in the Yeoville suburb of Johannesburg, but I can't read the rest. It may give a clue as to the likely shul in which the marriage would have taken place.

The Race/Ras is also listed as E - does anyone know what this refers to in civil wedding certificates in South Africa at that time?
