9/6/2026 6:02 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 32 is my great-great-grandfather’s first-cousin’s 1853 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:
- the child: Herszko ZARĘBER;
- his father: Juśk, son of Szmul ZARĘBER & Golda Chajmowna;
- his mother: Zelda, daughter of Abraham WAJNTROB & Mirka Idźkowicz.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

9/6/2026 6:01 PM This is my great grandfather's birth certificate - Dawid Jonas Sokolow. I managed to decipher the names in the document, nothing else. Would appreciate a translation. As far as I know he was born in 1885. I don't know the exact date. Does the document state where each of his parents (Icek & Chaya-Sura)came from? Thanks a lot. View the post with its 1 response

9/6/2026 5:59 PM Please listen to three short passages in USHMM oral history RG-90.129.0697 and provide the exact Polish transcription plus an English translation. Public audio: https://oralhistory-assets.ushmm.org/RG-90.129.0697.01.01.mp3. At 00:20:35–00:20:51, does the witness give names for the five people in the forest shelter, and what origins are mentioned? At 00:25:00–00:26:30, can you identify the family reportedly shot for helping Jews and verify the Cyców grandmother's name (machine heard “Feliksa Zazańska”)? At 00:28:36–00:29:16, please verify the statements about Biskupice, Trawniki, Bełżec, and possible origin in Piaski. The machine transcript may be wrong. Please state timestamp, exact Polish, and English meaning. View the post, there are no responses
115188 Translation - Yiddish

9/6/2026 5:59 PM This handwritten Yiddish message is on the reverse of a family photograph showing a married couple with two young girls. Family oral history says the woman may be one of Judko/Judka Gitman's two sisters from Biskupice in the Lublin region of Poland, but the identity is unconfirmed. All four are believed to have died during the Holocaust. Please provide: (1) an exact Yiddish transcription, (2) a full English translation, (3) transliteration of every personal and place name, and (4) any date, writer, recipient, or kinship terms. Please mark uncertain readings letter by letter. Source: privately held family photograph. View the post with its 1 response
