SUMMARY:Researching the Jews of Breslau (Wrocław) with JRI-Poland.org
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Members Only event presented by Stephen Falk\, JRI-Poland’s Wrocław (Breslau) Area Coordinator and “town leader”\, about the surviving documentation for the Jews of this important metropolis which attracted residents from far and wide.  Stephen’s presentation should interest most researchers with Prussian roots.  Special focus includes valuable records\, some available online\, others only by appointment at archives\, as well as Stephen’s ongoing project regarding the lost Claassenstrasse cemetery (1761-1856). \nBefore the War\, Breslau had the 3rd largest Jewish community in Germany.  Now\, as Wrocław\, it is the third largest city in Poland and the historical capital of Silesia.  With a magnificent 1000-year history\, Wrocław has been part of kingdoms in Poland\, Bohemia\, Hungary\, the Hapsburg Empire\, Prussia\, and Germany. \n  \nStephen Falk was an intellectual property attorney in Philadelphia for over 20 years. In 2013\, he moved across the country to Point Roberts\, Washington and soon after became president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of British Columbia\, just across the US-Canadian border.  With both parents born in Breslau\, the Jewish community records of that city have been the focus of his research for decades. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Researching the Jews of Prussian Poland
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday\, November 19\, 2023 for a 90 minute session about Prussian Poland. Much of today’s Poland belonged to Prussia (later the German Empire) before the two world wars. The many Jewish communities in the region once comprised 30% of Germany’s Jews before migration to Berlin and elsewhere diminished their numbers. \nThis presentation will discuss the communities\, their relationship to Prussia/Germany\, and the basics of researching one’s ancestors from the region. Central topic will be the resources of the Polish State Archives and how to make good use of them. Many examples will be used and a lively question-and-answer period will be offered. Presented by Roger Lustig. \nRoger Lustig is the JRI-Poland Prussian Poland Area Coordinator and contributor to the JRI-Poland database for over 20 years. He is a frequent speaker on this topic and is an expert researcher and teacher in this field. Roger is based in Princeton\, New Jersey. \nThis session is open to JRI-Poland currently paid members which is a separate annual fee of $54.  You can join us as a member by hovering over the HELLO blurb at the top right corner of any of our webpages and clicking on MY PROFILE. \n  \nAttribution: IMAGE of Prussian Coat of Arms – By David Liuzzo\, CC BY-SA 4.0\, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=14639833 \n
