SUMMARY:Researching the Jewish Story in Soviet-Occupied Poland\, 1939-41 - Latest Available Resources
DESCRIPTION:speaker: Steven Turner\, genealogist and president of Gesher Galicia\, a town leader for JRI-Poland\, and a member of the board of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island. \nIn 1939\, at the beginning of WWII\, Germany and the Soviet Union divided Poland into Occupation Zones. Many Jews fled into the  Soviet zone trying to stay a step ahead of the Germans. Life though was not easy. Many Jews were arrested and deported to labor camps in the East. Many hastily got married for various reasons and had children. Gesher Galicia has two projects\, one of vital records and one of criminal files from the NKVD\, the Soviet secret police\, relating to this period. These are some of the most amazing genealogical records one will ever see with pictures\, correspondence to overseas relatives\, and much genealogical data. Dr. Turner will demonstrate these records and show the researcher how to access and work with them to find precious information on their ancestors. \nOn Zoom only \nFAQs for this program: \n\nWho may register for this program?  Public\nIs it being recorded?  Yes\nWho may view the recording?  Members only
