9/6/2026 5:59 PM Please listen to three short passages in USHMM oral history RG-90.129.0697 and provide the exact Polish transcription plus an English translation. Public audio: https://oralhistory-assets.ushmm.org/RG-90.129.0697.01.01.mp3. At 00:20:35–00:20:51, does the witness give names for the five people in the forest shelter, and what origins are mentioned? At 00:25:00–00:26:30, can you identify the family reportedly shot for helping Jews and verify the Cyców grandmother's name (machine heard “Feliksa Zazańska”)? At 00:28:36–00:29:16, please verify the statements about Biskupice, Trawniki, Bełżec, and possible origin in Piaski. The machine transcript may be wrong. Please state timestamp, exact Polish, and English meaning. View the post, there are no responses
115188 Translation - Yiddish

9/6/2026 5:59 PM This handwritten Yiddish message is on the reverse of a family photograph showing a married couple with two young girls. Family oral history says the woman may be one of Judko/Judka Gitman's two sisters from Biskupice in the Lublin region of Poland, but the identity is unconfirmed. All four are believed to have died during the Holocaust. Please provide: (1) an exact Yiddish transcription, (2) a full English translation, (3) transliteration of every personal and place name, and (4) any date, writer, recipient, or kinship terms. Please mark uncertain readings letter by letter. Source: privately held family photograph. View the post with its 1 response

9/2/2026 7:05 PM I would like to know the full name of Abraham; I cannot quite figure out what his middle name is.
I believe his English name was Abraham Zavel which is almost, but not quite, how I am reading this middle name. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Barb London 		View the post with its 3 responses

115269 Translation - Other

9/2/2026 7:04 PM A line in Arabic script, written in pencil with what looks like a flourish drawn across it, on the flyleaf of a printed book in Arabic that has come down in my family. Below it, on the same page, there is a separate line in Hebrew cursive. I would be grateful for a transcription, and for your view on whether this is a personal signature rather than a note, and whether a name can be read from it. As with any signature, I would rather not say what I expect it to say. Please transcribe what you see. The book belonged to a Jewish family that lived in Ottoman Palestine and later in Egypt, roughly 1870 to 1920. View the post, there are no responses
115257 Translation - Yiddish

9/2/2026 7:03 PM This is a personal letter dated 12 June 1936, apparently written in Yiddish and addressed to my father, Meir Erteschik. I would be particularly grateful for a transcription of the original Yiddish, rather than only an English translation. Please indicate any words, personal names, or place names whose reading is uncertain. I would also very much like to identify the writer; I believe his first name may have been Moshe, but I am not certain. View the post with its 3 responses
