101002 Translation - Tombstone

1/22/2023 11:49 AM I found these photographs among the papers of my cousin, a Holocaust survivor who died in 2019. He lived in Kovno and Gargzdai, Lithuania, during the Holocaust and later immigrated to New York. He visited Lithuania in the 1990s when the photographs were taken.

Can anyone translate these tombstones?

I'm sure my cousin took the photographs because the tombstones were for a member of his father's family (Birman) or his mother's (Olschwanger).

Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response
101003 Translation - Tombstone

1/22/2023 11:49 AM These are two more photographs I found among the papers of my cousin, a Holocaust survivor who died in 2019. He lived in Kovno and Gargzdai, Lithuania, during the Holocaust and later immigrated to New York. He visited Lithuania in the 1990s when the photographs were taken.

Can anyone translate these tombstones?

I'm thinking my cousin took the photographs because the tombstones were for a member of his father's family (Birman) or his mother's (Olschwanger).

101004 Translation - Tombstone

1/22/2023 11:49 AM This is the last of the tombstone photographs I found among the papers of my cousin, a Holocaust survivor who died in 2019. He lived in Kovno and Gargzdai, Lithuania, during the Holocaust and later immigrated to New York. He visited Lithuania in the 1990s when the photographs were taken.

I'm not sure why he took this photograph. "Finkelstein" is not a name I recognize from our Birman and Olschwanger family. Do the other tombstones look significant? If so, I'm wondering why he didn't stand in a way to capture the images better.

Can anyone translate a few lines of the middle and back tombstones?

Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response

1/22/2023 11:48 AM I would appreciate a translation of columns 18, 17,18, 19& 20 for Simon Friedman in this 1930 Czech Census. Thank you so much, especially since it is difficult to read with the green annotations superimposed on the data.

1/22/2023 11:48 AM I would appreciate a translation of this 1930 Czech census for my great-grandmother Maly Friedman. I'm very interested in what the notes in column 24 say and the physical defect indicated in column. And also a translation of columns 18-22. Thank you so much.

1/18/2023 1:40 PM This is Peter Gendelman. His family was from Narovlya in what is now Belarus; he would have been my grandmother's nephew. Is he in a Soviet military uniform? Army? Navy?
