Kolomyya Alan Weiser [email protected] The Kolomea Research Group (KRG) continues to grow both in membership (43 members) and in features on our web site www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/kolomea/kolomad.htm. Since last reporting we have added another first-person account of life in Kolomea and exodus during WW I. The project of translating 168 documents on war crimes in Kolomea and surrounding area from German to English has been completed. Member Georges Rosenfeld, assisted by member Bob Israel, headed the project. Georges has produced a database identifying the accused, victims, witnesses, and place and date of crime. This database will be posted on our web site under HOLOCAUST FACTS in the near future. We are seeking the help of KRG members or others with fluency in German-English translations to create summaries of selected documents. If you can help, please contact Alan Weiser, KRG Coordinator. Another new feature added to our web site describes how Immigrant Passenger Manifests can be obtained from the U.S. National Archives. It identifies the type of information that can be obtained from these manifests about the immigrant. To ensure Elderly Jew from Kolomyya, ca. 1880 that you can obtain the manifest it is necessary that you have immigrant's name at entry, date of entry, port of entry and ship name. There are now at least two web sites that will eventually provide such information through the use of a surname searchable database. The Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild at Mielec http://istg.rootsweb.com is slowly building up. The Dr. Howard I.A.

Peter Jassem cites some historical facts from Dzieje Miasta Tarnowa, by Leniek, Herzig and Lesniak, published in Tarnow in 1911: “On Feb. 16 1815 the regional authority of Tarnow decided to expand an existing semi-private school for girls founded by Jozef Lignau in 1789 and create a public school for girls. As a result, the Trivium School in Tarnow was opened on August 17, 1818. It enrolled 86 students. (At the time there were 148 girls of school age in Tarnow including suburbs and 146 in surrounding villages.) One-third of the rent was to be split between Catholic and Jewish congregations, two-thirds was paid by town and region.”

The Jews of Galicia under Austrian-Polish Rule, 1867-1918: Part I Professor Piotr Wróbel
The Galitzianer is pleased to publish Professor Piotr Wróbel’s article, “The Jews of Galicia under Austrian- Polish Rule, 1867-1918,” which we will publish in three installments. Professor Wróbel holds the Konstanty Reynart Chair in Polish Studies in the Department of History at the University of Toronto. He wrote this article to fill the great dearth of scholarly literature on Galicia. Professor Wróbel has also taught at the University of Warsaw, the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and the University of California-Davis. He was scholar-in-residence at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1999. He has authored or co-authored nine books and over 50 scholarly articles. Due to space limitations, we are unable to publish the accompanying endnotes. Interested readers are urged to contact the Editor for an electronic copy of the full scholarly apparatus accompanying the article.

Names from the Skalat Yizkor Book Yvette Scharf [email protected] Eric Blaustein and Yvette Scharf have compiled the following index to the Skalat Yiskor Book (Skalat Memorial Volume of the Community Which Perished in the Holocaust, edited by Chaim Bronstein, Tel Aviv, 1971; published by Yacov Krol School, Petah Tikva and former residents of Skalat in Israel). Yvette's paternal grandparents and ancestors were from Skalat, as were Eric's father and ancestors on his maternal side. Neither of them found any known family names in the index they prepared. Eric translated into English only those chapters that contained references to names of people from Skalat. He encountered some difficulties in the transliteration of the names from Hebrew into English. It is possible that these names were originally provided in Yiddish, which in itself was a transliteration of those names from the original spelling in Polish, German, Ukrainian or Russian. Other spelling variants are therefore possible. Researchers may contact Yvette Scharf by e-mail or by mail:165 Howard Drive, Hamden, CT 06514 with questions.
