Some of them had fled from Poland to Hungary to escape deportations to death camps in Poland. In other cases, there is no explanation as to how or why they ended up in Hungary. Since most of these survivors entered the postwar displaced persons system, in many cases it is possible to establish their final destination by searching the databases of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (<a href="https://www.ushmm.org/">https://www.ushmm.org/</a>) and Bad Arolsen (<a href="https://arolsen-archives.org/en/">https://arolsen-archives.org/en/</a>).<br /><br /></div><div>The material consists of surname and given name, year and place of birth and residence in 1939. An unusual addition to this list is the mother’s given and maiden name.<br /><br /></div><div>This list of Polish Jews in Hungary was produced by the World Jewish Congress April 18, 1946. It is one list in an extensive collection (3.1.1.3) of lists of liberated persons held at the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany. The list was created by Carol Oliver, a JewishGen volunteer. </div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>To learn more about this data set, please see: <a href="https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/holocaust/PolishSurvivorsFoundinHungary.html">https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/holocaust/PolishSurvivorsFoundinHungary.html</a></li><li>You can search these records, along with all of JewishGen’s records, from the Unified Search page at: <a href="https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/all/">https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/all/</a></li><li>Alternatively, to search the Holocaust Database specifically, please start at: <a href="https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Holocaust/">https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Holocaust/</a>.

These were Internal Passports issued whenever a person wanted to travel way from home within the Russian Empire. In 1919 Latvia became Independent but the rules applied. <br /><br />Each record has the link to the original on the FamilySearch site and as they have photos of the Individuals are a particularly valuable resource. There are very few photos missing. It is always advisable to read the Introduction to any Database as well as doing a search as you get valuable information about the Database. <br /><br />There are 726 records. <br /><br />Some family names are more common than others and for example it you search the name Rotbardt you get 52 results for your search. When searching on the Jewishgen Latvia Database the new hits will be in the database entitled Passport Issuance Books 1919-1941. In the main the information is mainly of interest to those researching Jekabpils, Daugapils and Krustpils but as the Place of Birth and Place of Origin are listed as well as their current address there may be information of interest to others with Latvian Heritage.To search this collection, please visit: <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/#">https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Latvia/<br /></a><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/#"><br /></a>Arlene Beare<br />Co-Director of Latvian Research<div style="text-align: center;"></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
