Mogilev Birth Index for Fathers of Male Births (1864-1894)
Translated & posted by Vitaly Charny
This is merely a transliterated list of a birth particular index, which is about half (only fathers of baby boys) of a half (leaving out girl births) of a half (1864-1894, although records begin in 1837) of the seven roll series of microfilm available through Mormon Family History Centers (FHC). Only the letter "M" is provided here. The actual record, can be ordered through the FHC and will require someone with knowledge of both Russian and Yiddish. Anyone looking for people in Minsk, should also check Mogilev, Bobruisk, Gomel, Orsha, Vitebsk and other relatively close-in places.

Freedom Fighter speaks up
David Israel (Lei) tells it like it was requests acknowledgment
From the Jersulem Post, February, 1997, Letter to the Editor
The Danish Record
Sir, The Danish people's resolute refusal to discriminate against their Jewish fellow citizens and to surrender them to the Germans during World War II has now been universally recognized and honoured.
However, there has been very little, if any, acknowledgment of the remarkable fact that Denmark is the only and unique case of a country occupied by the Germans, where the Jewish population did not suffer any material loss of any kind. Unlike the rest of occupied Europe (and most so-called neutral countries), there was not one single case of any Jewish property being confiscated. The Danes even went so far as to make all the mortgage payments due on Jewish property while owners were either in Sweden or in Theresienstadt. The also paid the rent on leased property and in buildings that were occupied by the Germans, the furniture was removed and safely stored away and returned to the rightful owners after the end of the war.
In the light of the increasing revelations of the extent of the collaboration of so many countries with the Nazis (insofar as profiting from the despoliation of Jewish capital and other possessions is concerned), would it not be appropriate for Israel at this time on behalf of the Jewish people worldwide to make some gesture towards the Kingdom of Denmark for this unprecedented display of humanity?
