Last November 50 million documents from the Holocaust held by the International Tracing Service (ITS) were opened to public access. Now Jewish family historians are finding the answers to questions that they thought would never be answered. An article on the collection and a trip by forty Jewish genealogists to survey and do research in the collection is online at Yahoo! News.

Have you used the Jewishgen webpage and checked their Polish database? My family has a similar background to yours. If you wish to email me more specific information such as birthdate of Noah etc. I will gladly check some databases for you.
