DNA and Dr Oz
Dr Oz is related to Mike Nichols, the director. Watch the video.
Host, Henry Gates, jumps to the absurd conclusion that Jews and Muslims (not Arabs) are descended from the brothers Ishmael and Isaac.
More likely, Dr Oz is descended from Turkish Jews who converted to Islam, possibly even members of the Donmeh.

Canadian Government Pursues Nazis
From: Friends of the Simon Weisenthal Center
FSWC RECEIVES GOVERNMENT PLEDGE TO TAKE A NEW LOOK AT NAZI WAR CRIMINALS LIVING IN CANADA
On the eve of Yom HaZikaron FSWC travelled to Parliament Hill in Ottawa with a group of four Holocaust survivors to request the government do all it can to deport, after decades of legal wrangling, the two living Nazi war criminals who remain in Canada.

Falsified Records
Luba Kramrish, 56, who came to Canada from Russia and lives in Toronto, is among 30 people accused of swindling money intended for survivors of Nazi persecution.
According to documents filed in a U.S. court, Ms. Kramrish called a friend of hers in New York who was a caseworker at the Claims Conference in about 1999.
Ms. Kramrish inquired about her mother, who had applied for money from one of the funds.
The persecution history she provided could not be verified. The friend took the case and then falsified information to get it approved, the prosecutors said.
After her mother’s claim was granted, Kamrish began sending the caseworker documents for about 20 to 25 other applications.
Her friend helped falsify these applications so that they would be approved. Kramrish paid her $2,000 to $4,000 per application.
Some of the money was paid to the witness while in Toronto and some while Ms. Kramrish was in New York.

Eric Goldstaub of Shanghai - National Post
“I went to every goddamn consulate there ever was in Vienna,” the 89-year-old growls.
“I wanted to get visas for my parents and for my relatives. I had 20 relatives. And I was going from one bloody consulate to the other. ”
This was in 1938, after the Austrians had welcomed Hitler and his Nazi thugs with a campaign of persecution that would escalate into the Holocaust.
Mr. Goldstaub was a teenager from an influential Jewish family.

Eric Goldstaub of Shanghai - Toronto Star
Eric Goldstaub was 17 years old in Nazi-occupied Austria and it was up to him to get his family out.
The year was 1938. When Hitler’s men rolled in, the Jews of Vienna were beaten and humiliated, forced to scrub the streets.
With Jewish children barred from schools and the situation looking dire, young Goldstaub spent his days trekking from one foreign consulate office to the next, trying to secure visas for his family.
He didn’t care where they went, but he knew they had to get out of Europe — fast. Door after door, country after country, the answer was no. Until he tried China.

Kenny Libo - American Jewish Historian
Libo was known best for his involvement in “World of Our Fathers,” a best seller that Irving Howe described as an effort to reclaim the fading memory of Jewish immigration from the clutches of sentimental myth, Alexander Portnoy and generations of Jewish mother jokes.
He mined archives of Yiddish newspapers like The Forward, Der Tog and Freiheit; the case records of social service organizations like the Henry Street Settlement House; the letters of activists like Lillian Wald and Rose Schneiderman; memoirs by forgotten people whose books he found in the 5-cent bins of used bookstores.
He interviewed old vaudevillians like Joe Smith of Smith and Dale (the models for Neil Simon’s “Sunshine Boys”) for the story of Yiddish theater.

Friendship and Family
Genealogists want to get close to their ancestors but, in reality, people often don't like their living relations. Here is the story of a public battle between cousins in Toronto.
Cousins Leslie and Zoltan Zimmerman came to Toronto from a border town between Czechoslovakia and Hungary in the early 1950s.
Zoltan opened a grocery store and Leslie ran a children’s clothing store directly across from each other in Kensington.
10 years ago, Leslie closed his clothing store. His son, Martin, partnered with Loblaws and renamed the store Zimmerman's Fresh Mart.
Zoltan's son, Danny, believes his cousin is using the family name to ride on the reputation of by Zimmerman’s Discount. Inotherwords, he stole their name.
Read the article here. There are lots of interesting comments below it. This is history as it happens. If you feel sentimental about the past, if you have illusions about how great it was, this is what it was really like.

German historian Moritz Pfeiffer asked his granddad what he did in World War II, and then fact-checked the testimony.
His findings in a new book shed light on a dying generation that remains outwardly unrepentant, but is increasingly willing to break decades of silence on how, and why, it followed Hitler.

Landsmanshaft and Jewish mutual benefit societies of Toronto
Bill Gladstone recently spoke to us about about landsmanshaften and Mutual Benefit Societies in Toronto.
Now he has published a long article on his website. Click here.
A landsmanshaft was a group of immigrants who came from the same village, town, country or region.
The word is Yiddish and means an organization of “landsmen” or “landsleit,” people from the same area with whom one naturally feels a special closeness while living in a foreign city.
Their golden period was 1900 to 1960. Dozens of societies arose in Toronto.
Examples: the Beizetchiner, Chenstochover, Driltzer, Ivansker, Kieltzer, Lagover, Linitzer, Mozirer, Ostrovtzer, Ozerover, Radomer and Warsaw-Lodzer societies.
A list of Toronto-based landsmanshaft and mutual benefit societies appears here.

Ancestor Biography
I came across this quote by James Atlas. I think it captures the goals of genealogists "bent on defying the sentence of oblivion imposed on us all."
"The intimacy that develops between subject and biographer is like no other. It’s a collaboration between two sensibilities bent on defying the sentence of oblivion imposed on us all. As an act of remembrance, biography accomplishes what other, more transient forms of memorial never can: the preservation of a vanished life. It endures as a monument to the tenacity of the biographer—burrowing, gathering, digging, retrieving—and to the infinite complexity of the subject. By dwelling on a single existence, biography illustrates our human variety.”
Atlas is a biographer, himself, and also the editor at Penguin and Harper Collins who developed the Penguin Lives and the Eminent Lives series.

Jewish Cemeteries in The Ukraine
For the past 25 years, Meylakh Sheykhet, a 58-year-old resident of Lviv, has scoured Ukraine in an attempt to save its Jewish heritage.
He has preserved about 180 cemeteries and gravesites in Ukraine, whose registered Jewish population stands at around 120,000. He has only scratched the surface.
In his estimation, there are 2,000 Jewish cemeteries and from 5,000 to 6,000 gravesites in this country.

Movie - Einsatzgruppen
Michaël Prazan’s 2009 documentary, Einsatzgruppen: The Death Brigades, is devastating to sit through.
The film is a two-part, three-hour comprehensive investigation into the Einsatzgruppen, the Nazi paramilitary death squads, which fanned out across German-occupied territories in Eastern Europe, the Baltic states and Soviet Russia during the Second World War.
A Visit To Kazimierz
Kazimierz was the Jewish quarter of Krakow.
65,000 Jews lived in the area south of the city centre, prior to being forced across the Vistula River to the ghetto at Podgorze in March 1941.
Nearly all were dead by March 1943.
I wander around Kazimierz. I see faded signs in Hebrew and Yiddish. Nearly a dozen synagogues still stand.

Canada's 1921 Census to Be Released June 2013
Canada has a 92 year privacy rule for release of its census.
The census is in the possession of Statistics Canada.
After the 92 years, the records are transferred to the Library and Archives of Canada which will release the census for public use.
The June 1st 1921 census will be transferred June 1st 2013, but it will take some time to record, catalogue, and scan and put the images on line...therefore public access will not occur until sometime later.

New DNA test gets results in minutes
From: Tom Spears, Postmedia News · Mar. 31, 2012
The University of Ottawa Heart Institute has developed the world's first bedside DNA test.
Instead of sending blood to a lab and waiting for days, the nurse swabs a few cells inside the patient's mouth and sees results on the spot.
The focus so far is on one type of heart problem, but researchers say this is just the first step toward a future when a swab can tell all about your personal health.
Working with Spartan Bioscience, an Ottawa biotech company, theyt built a design that gives results in 1 hour. They're now working to cut that to 30 or 45 minutes.
When the Human Genome Project ended, more than 10 years ago, many experts predicted that most people would carry around all their genetic information on a card with microchips.
That hasn't happened, but if bedside testing expands to a wide variety of genes it won't have to.
