Through research I found our family members who were murdered in Theresienstadt. Recently read Jan T. Gross, "Revolution From Abroad," which concentrates on the Soviet occupation in Eastern Poland starting +- Sept 7, 1938. . All of Mr Gross' books particularly "Neighbors" feel in the moment here with the new regime. Stay Safe

I love this reference. My mom's mom, I'm told, was born in Prussia. Now Poland? Married an American soldier, my grandfather. I don't know much about my grandmother but sounds like she had a pretty lonely life with a controlling, isolating, abusive husband. They both passed before I was 5 yrs old. Time for me to get to know something about Gramma Zacharias. Thank You! ЁЯТЬ
You can try FamilySearch. Which is free for starters. Around the holidays. One of their volunteers indexed papers from 1896 where for the only time my GGF noted he arrived from Mariupol. He had entered тАЬRuslandтАЩ on any other document I had located. So itтАЩs a challenge. But, very satisfying at times. Also when you search you take your mind off everything else!

Thank you for that reference Sarah, will check it out. Rough road ahead.
Neighbors is a compelling read you might check your library. I read it straight thru
Absolutely! Check out Nazi Town, USA. An American Experience: Season 36, Episode 1.
I didn't grow up too far from one of the Bund Hitler children's camps north of Milwaukee.
I just looked this up I hadnтАЩt realized how organized the camps were here in the US
Also thanks, Sara. IтАЩll also check it out.
