Nearly 80 percent of the world's Jews can trace their roots to
Poland where Jewish presence predates the Holocaust by
almost 1000 years. Now, the Museum of the History of Polish
Jews, a center for education and culture, dedicated to
preserving the lasting legacy of Jewish life in Poland is to be
opened in Warsaw in 2011.

Located in what was the heart of the Warsaw Jewish Quarter
and opposite the Monument to the Heroes of the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising, the Museum, using the latest research and
innovative exhibition design will immerse visitors in the world
of Polish Jews end encourage exploration through a wide
range of media, documents and artifacts.

The Museum's representative will present the plans of the

Poland from 966 A.D. until the present, and discuss the
initiatives undertaken by Jewish communities around the
world to support the Museum.

The only leads I have are that Jankel was originally from Piotrkow
(b. 1795) , but moved to the Przedborz area to marry and enhance his
rabbinic studies. An internet source about Jews of Warsaw says that
there were indeed two wealthy Jews living there and originally from
Piotrkow. Their names were Josel Jankel and Szmul, and they lived
slightly before the era of surnames (around 1800). I thought there
might be a connection, though if they were "my" Jankel's relatives,
they'd be significantly older (and possibly no longer living by the
1860's).

I'd appreciate it if someone who has information regarding wealthy
Jews of Warsaw from 19th century could contact me, or also contact me
if you have specific information about the Josel Jankel and Szmul
mentioned above.

I know its a long shot...

Thank you.

My mother's maternal grandpearents were Nechuma-Szejna Morlender (born 1884 in siedlce, died 1926 in Warsawa) and Boruch-Lejb Galperyn/Halperin. they were Married in 1902 in Siedlce and had 3 children:

1. Yehoshua Halperin (born 1903 in warsaw, died 1965 in Tel Aviv, Israel) married Rochel Begin (sister of late israeli PM Menahem Begin) and were parents of Ari (Born Warsawa 1938 - Died 1942 in Brest Ghetto, Belarus) and Emanuel (Born 1943 in Toshkent, Uzbekistan).

2. Yehudit/Judita (born April 4th 1904 in Warsawa, died February 1973 in Jerusalem, Israel) before WW2 she was an athlete and married Arno Erb, who died during the war. she married Asher Gil (Gilipter) after immigrating to Israel.
3. My grandmother: Lija ( Lea, or Lola) Halperin (born June 10th 1909 in Warsawa, died December 20th 1951 in Raanana, Israel). Lola was married on September 8th 1935 in Jerusalem to my grandfather Bronislaw Sztraubaum who changed his name to Dov Tibbon (Born July 1st 1907 in Warsawa, died March 23rd 1972 in Jerusalem) . They had 2 children: Ari Tibbon and Nava-Meira.
Rochel nee Begin (at an old age) recalled:
1. Boruch-Leijb Halperyn had a brother named Chaim and sisters named Brunia, Frenia & Ester (who's married name was Weinsztock and had a son Lolek and a daughter Reginka). another brother or sister of Boruch-Lejb's had a son Tadeusz and a daughter Sala.

2. Boruch-Lejb Galperyn was somehow a relative (cousin or brother-in-law, we think) of an Aharon Goldberg from Pinsk, Belarus (son of Nachum & Mirlya Alta Goldberg, father of Natan, Avraham & Gunia) who was given custody of Lola and her brother and sister when their pearents died).

3. in 1916, during the battle on Verdan in WW1, Yehoshua Halperin was in France studying french with a female relative of his who's last name was Farber. we have no idea who she was or how they were related.

4. Nechuma-Szejna Morlender's father died when she was young and her widowed mother married a widow named either Eliahu or Szmuel Barg. mr. Barg had a daughter called Frejda Lipshitz (born 1877 in siedlce -
died 1962 in Jerusalem, Israel) and MAYBE a set of twins called Gersz Wulf and Dawid from his first wife, and with Nuchuma-Szejna's mother he had twins and MAYBE a dauhter named Helena.

5. Nechuma-Szejna Morlender is believed to be a grand daughter of Chaim Boruch Izrael MUHRENLANDER (1819-1890), chief Rabbi of Warsawa and author of "birkat Chaim" book, and a decendant of the REMA (Rabbi
Moses Isserles)

On her Paternal side My mother's grandpearents were Meir Sztraubaun & Rozelia-Rachel Himelfarb (died August 22nd 1966 in Warsawa). they had 7 children:
1. Stanislaw Yshayahu (Stach) - changed his last name to Olecki, married Dora Biderman and had a son Sevek (Simcha) Tibbon and a Daughter Zula (Shoshana) Reich.
2. my grandfather Bronislaw Sztraubaum/ Dov Tibbon
3. Anna sztraubaum (born Dec. 24th 1912 Warsawa, died May 19th 1990 in Warsawa).
4. Helena (Hella) Sztraubaum (died Dec. 20th 1968 in Warsawa).
5. Alexander (Olek) - changed his last name to Olecki, married Irena (Irka) Berman (sister of communists Adolf & Jakub Berman) and had 2 daughters: Ania & Gusha.
6. Balla Szpyzman-Pavlovski, married Pinchas-Pyoter Szpyzman-Pavlovski and had 1 son: Ludvig "Bogush" elieazer Pavlovski (26.12.1938-21.7.1991)
7. Paula Kolek (1917-1940) was married to a man who turned her to the Nazis.

we know nothing else about the Sztraubaum - himelfarb families and cant seem to find Ania & Gusha Olecki.
if any of you finds anything familiar or just knows better where to search for other information I would be so greatful...

Thanx in advance,
Mattan Segev,
Jerusalem, Israel.

Poland's capital on Wednesday marked the completion of a massive
restoration project that marks the borders of the former Jewish Ghetto
that was walled in by Nazis occupiers during World War II.

The mayor of Warsaw, along with the minister of culture, inaugurated
the project that included 21 new information points along the
boundaries of the former Jewish Ghetto. The project also placed a
beige line, labeled "Ghetto Wall," along the city streets that
outlined the furthest reaches of the Ghetto's borders.

The line snakes along sidewalks and around apartments and offices,
broken only when it reaches roads or tram lines.
Advertisement
Paid for by the city of Warsaw and the Ministry of Culture, the
project was launched last year by a team of historians.

"When you ask people in Warsaw about the Ghetto, they can tell you
about it and have an idea of where it was," said Tomasz Merta of the
Ministry of Culture. "But in reality, nobody could tell you how big it
was and how it was a huge prison in the heart of the city."

Varsovians can now easily find the line running along several major
streets near downtown and curling around what is now the Jewish
Cemetery.

"Now it's here, and we can see it and touch it. And it's very
difficult to remember, because of how hurtful it was," Merta said,
"but at least now we can remember. This is our responsibility."

Nazi officials cut off the Jewish Ghetto from the rest of the city on
November 16, 1940. At its broadest circumference, the Ghetto wall
enclosed 307 hectares.

Some 360,000 Warsaw Jews and 90,000 from other towns were forced into
the ghetto, according to the city of Warsaw. Some 100,000 people died
of hunger.

"It's not only important to Warsaw, but it's a universal lesson about
memory," Merta said.

The inauguration ceremony included a bus tour that took people along
the former borders and stopped at the information points that marked
important sites or events in the Ghetto's history.

A crowd of project officials, local residents and historians went
along for the trip. Older residents recalled the disquiet in the city
when the wall was first built.

"Nobody was sure if their house would lay in the Ghetto, or where the
borders would be," said historian Jan Jagielski, author of a book
about the Ghetto. "Walls had been built earlier, and people were
worried that there would be a ghetto. From November 16, people
couldn't leave."

Jagielski lead a group of mostly elderly women through a park and
wondered at how modern Warsaw sits atop borders that are gone but not
forgotten.

"This is all real and unreal," he said. "That we're here walking,
through these streets."

I have been searching for info. on my Mother's family;
Yudovich. My Mothers name was Chana, born in David Gorodok, Russia
March 18, 1899. Her Fathers name was Usher, or Asher Yudovich.Both He

was known as "Usher the Perevozchic" He owned 2 Cargo and 3 Passenger
Ships, in addition to his own home in David Horodok.
My Mother, Chana, married my father Yosel Turkienicz, or
Turkenicz. His Father was Abraham. After marriage in David Horodok,or
David Grodak March 12, 1919 or I believe the Jewish calendar was Feb,
14, 1919 They then left to my Fathers home town of Stolin (nearby)

off the ship in Warsaw, Poland for my mother to give birth to my
brother Yankel (Jack) They proceeded to go to Odvok for the birth and
then after a short time, again left for America on the ship SS
Mauretania, arriving in New York City via London England June 12,
1921. Witnessing my parents wedding in David Grodak was Rabbi Zev Wolf

Gershon-Itskhok Sirota (1874-1943) was one of the leading cantors of Europe during the "Golden Age of Hazzanut" (cantorial music), sometimes referred to as the "Jewish Caruso."

Sirota began his cantorial career in Odessa, then spent eight years in Vilna as cantor of the Shtatshul (State Synagogue) there. It was in Vilna that he began his collaboration with choirmaster Leo Lowe, which would continue throughout his career. He performed on numerous occasions throughout Europe, and in 1902 he sang at a reception in honor of Theodore Herzl, the founder of the Zionist Movement.
In 1907, Sirota assumed the position of cantor at the presigious Tlomackie Street Synagogue in Warsaw. He continued his concert appearances around Europe, and even sang in Carnegie Hall in New York City to a sold out crowd. While cantor at the Tlomackie Synagogue, he also began recording his music. The first Jewish records, made in Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg and spread across the whole Jewish world, were of the two famous khazonim: Gershon Sirota and Zanvil Kvartin. As the technology improved, he was constantly rerecording the songs, so that listeners can trace the improvement of his rich tenor voice over the years.
While Sirota eventually left the synagogue over disputes concerning his frequent performances, he continued to live in Warsaw. Nevertheless, he travelled frequently, and his concerts were attended by Jewish and Christian audiences alike--and according to some accounts, even by Caruso.
Caught in Warsaw during the Nazi invasion of Poland during World War II, he spent his final years living in the Warsaw Ghetto, and died in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943

Perhaps you are interested in the attached JPG file of a photo in the possession of my family, depicting the smoke billowing from the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

My mother (Ewa Toren nee Heller)
and grandmother were interred in the Warsaw ghetto during WWII. They suffered the hardships and the hunger, and an aunt and a cousin staying with them were killed during this time. Finally my mother and grandmother escaped to the Aryan side where they spent very difficult time in clandestine hiding.

Once on the outside from the Ghetto, they had contact with youngsters active in the Armia Krajowa resistance movement. These AK teenagers were not aware my mother and grandmother were Jewish. It occurred during the time when it was possible to see in the city, for weeks and weeks, the fires raging in the Jewish Ghetto. The AK youth told my mother they had made some snapshot pictures of the smoke billowing from the fires of the Jewish uprising. When they offered her one of the pictures, she was extremely glad to take it, though she was careful not to disclose her true interest in this. Incidentally, all of the teenagers in this group of AK later were killed in the later failed Polish uprising.

The photo was taken from a village outside of Warsaw. It is so far out in the countryside, the houses of the city are not even seen on the horizon. Peasants are seen peacefully tilling the field, while in the distant background, a pillar of smoke can be seen. It could be mistaken for a pastoral scene. Since the fields look fully harvested, this picture was probably taken during the end of the uprising, towards summer.

My grandmother inscribed the scene on the backside, shortly after the War, signing with her real name. During the years on the Christian side, she had assumed a fake identity.

Immediately after the end of the war, in Cracow were my mother and grandmother had returned to, Poles started looking for Jewish survivors to put to slave labor . Within a few weeks at first opportunity, my mother and grandmother decided to flee from these renewed atrocities. They resolved to immigrate to Palestine. They escaped to Romania but had to wait for passage on a ship to Palestine until 1947. They were apprehended at sea and detained in a concentration camp in Cyprus by the British in contravention to the Mandate of the League of Nations reserving Palestine as the homeland to the Jewish people.

Although immigrants had been advised not to bring documentation on board, my mother took the photo and eventually brought it to Israel when she was released from Cyprus in 1948. It has been with her ever since.

Do you own the rights to that photography, or perhaps you know who owns them and where the original could be found.
Could you possibly provide us with a high quality scan i. e. a 300 dpi TIFF?

We would be sincerely grateful for your help.

The picture of Adolf Berman is from the "Lohamei Hagetaot" site in Israel. You could find it online. I see many pictures of Adolf on other sites. I am sure that it is fine to use it. Let me know if you found a better quality scan. Are you also planing to have a picture of his brother Jacob? He must not have been liked in Poland.

Thanks,

Hello, 
I am researching the life of Yitzhak Kaplan, great grandfather of my husband.

He had a very active career, travelled the world following the Yiddish Theaters all over the world.
I know that he lived for a short period in Warsaw Poland, and even met his young wife Pessia there.
His life and life of his family was like an adventure book. I can not even discrube it to you in one letter.
I am constantly looking for his pictures and any information about his family.
Here is his "resume" from the Museum of Family History:

http://www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/yt/lex/K/kaplan-yitzhak.htm

The picture on your site made me jump, I really think it is him.
I have copied it and posted it on Facebook for my family to see ( I hope I have not made you upset that I have saved the image.... And shared it...) 
But when I post it there it tags him automatically as my father in law!!
I am hoping to learn more about this picture.

Thank you so much,

In commemoration of the start of the Warszawa Ghetto Uprising on the Eve of Passover, April 19, 1943, Jewish Records Indexing-Poland has added nearly 5,600 more Warszawa vital records to the JRI-Poland database.

Jewish Records of Poland, http://jri-poland.org/

Updates were made to the following projects:

1) Additional extracts for the Warszawa LDS Jewish data covering the 1826-1865 time period (Fond 180). This dataset now consists of over
70,000 records. We have begun to add image links to this file and the first film that was linked is LDS microfilm 069531

2) Additional extracts for the Warszawa Jewish records from Fond 200 covering the 1864-1915 time period. This group of files contains over
83,000 records of which 83% are now image linked.

Our researchers are working on the data extracts and filling in the gaps on what has not been done. Each successive year another year becomes available for indexing. Though many of the records were destroyed or disappeared during the decimation of the city during World War II, we still have many more records to extract.

David Frischmann

Russian Hebraist; born in Lodz 1863; now (1903) residing in Warsaw. Frischman began very early to write both poetry and prose in Hebrew periodicals, and his style and the originality of his views soon attracted attention. He was assistant editor of "Ha-Yom," in St. Petersburg (1886-87), and afterward editor of the weekly "Ha-Dor." Frischman has contributed a large number of poems, short stories, and articles to the Hebrew periodicals during the last twenty years. His earlier writings are to be found in "Ha-Bo?er Or," "Ha-Sha?ar," "Ha-Asif," etc. His works include: the short story "Be-Yom ha-Kippurim," Warsaw, 1881; his successful translation of Aaron Bernstein's "Aus dem Reiche der Natur," under the title "Yedi'ot ha-?eva'" (The Perceptions of Nature) (1882-85); "Tohu wo-Bohu," a scathing criticism of Hebrew journalistic methods, especially directed against "Ha-Meli?," with an appendix, "'Al ha-Nes," in which I. L. Lewin's translation of Disraeli's "Tancred" is severely criticized (ib. 1883); "Miktavim 'al Devar ha-Sifrut" (Notes on the History of Literature), a criticism against contemporary Hebrew literature (Warsaw, 1895). He also translated Julius Lippert's "Kulturgeschichte," under the title "Toledot Hashlamat ha-Adam," in three parts (ib. 1894-1901). A collection of his scattered articles and feuilletons is at present (1903) being published in Warsaw under the title "Ketavim Niv?arim." Frischman has also written considerably for Yiddish periodicals. The poem "Ophir" in the "Yidcirclehe Volksbibliothek" deserves to be mentioned. He has done much to introduce Western methods into Neo-Hebrew literature.
