It’s hard to believe, but our beloved Stanley Diamond is turning 90 this month. Seems like the right moment to get our smiling faces online and show Stanley what he means to us. Bring a glass of your favorite celebratory drink so you can literally raise a glass in honor of this man who means so much to so many of us. Happy Birthday, Stanley! We hope to celebrate many more round numbers with you… including, but not limited to 120!

Using Cemetery and Burial Records in the JRI-Poland Database
2023-06-04 13:00 - 15:00
Cemeteries form an important link to our Jewish ancestors. Whether or not the tombstones (matzevot) still exist undisturbed, Burial Records and Cemetery Lists can be helpful in preparing for a visit to a Jewish Cemetery in Poland or improving your family history information. Join us for a presentation about the diverse Cemetery lists that can be found in the JRI-Poland database that will include helpful hints on how to use the JRI-Poland database and the information in it from our partner organization: the Foundation for the Documentation of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland. Specific examples will include lists from Wroclaw (Breslau), Bytom, and Warszawa (Warsaw), and the JRI-Poland database includes much more!
