Bonyhad AZKARA, etc.

Hello,

Date of the Azkara is approaching.

I am no longer involved in its organization which is handled by the very capable Rabbi Zelig Horowitz.

He can be contacted via shira.horo@gmail.com

*******

If anyone is interested, I recently updated a Bonyhad website, which I have been editing for the last few years.

New and updated information is marked by a graphic  NEW sign.

http://eproceeding.awardspace.info/bonyhad

Among the new items are:

1. basic interactive website enabling viewing all gravestones and memorial signs in the Orthodox cemetery as of April 2024
   
   
2. a more comprehensive website showing on an aerial photo where each grave is located. If basic details on gravestones will be typed by volunteers into a suitable computer file it will be possible to search for gravestones by name  and possibly other details, such as death anniversary. Search would show the associated gravestones' exact or approximate location on the aerial photo. Unfortunately text on many of the gravestones is no longer readable. 
   
   This project was handled by Mrs. Chava Rivka Giavarini (nee Illes Eva).  Anyone interested in helping to transcribe material from the gravestones should consult her via illes.eva7@gmail.com. Possibly Rabbi Pesach Singer in Jerusalem is transcribing information.
   
   
3. interactive website showing on the Bonyhad map location of Jewish residences and other Jewish facilities as of early 1944 and also recent interactive image of the a location's vicinity via Google Maps. It is possible to search for people etc. by partial or full name and partial or full address (using current street names)

There is a HELP button on the above 3 sites. If pressed, a webpage is shown explaining how to use the associated website.

Link to the above webpages is in the above mentionad bonyhad website http://eproceeding.awardspace.info/bonyhad

Best Wishes,

The Bonyhad Genizah

 Wow! The "Bonyhad Genizah"!

I looked through this and there are definitely a lot of names that are familiar to me from my work on Mr. Blau's book.

Not all of these pictures had names or names that were readable (at least to me and my sons), but some of the surnames that I was able to make out include: Ullman, Strauss, Strausz, Kohn, Goldring, Beck, Krausz, Warim (ווארום), Kritzler, Kaufman, Kohler, Schwarz, Ferenc, Salamon, Roth, Steiner, Muller, Zeif, Alwesiz, Blum, Fridling, Frohlich, Lajos, Weisz. 

I'm sending this email to as many Bonyhad people as I can, if you know anyone who descends from these families that would be interested in getting seforim that belonged to their ancestors, you can be in touch with Nina Forman <nina.forman@ntlworld.com> or her son Dov Forman <dovforman03@gmail.com>. If you know more Bonyhad people, please forward this message along to them to help spread the word!

Shalom & Kol Tuv,

Dear Larry

The gentleman in Bonyhad who returned the Chumash to my daughter and grandson has written to say he has 50 or more seforim with names. He and his wife were so moved by the film of Lily receiving the book that they now want to make effort to reunite the seforim with any surviving families who may recognise family names.

I am attaching a link with photos of some of the collection:

Please liaise with Nina/Dov regarding any of your group/contacts wanting to take this forward. Nina and Dov are both copied into this mail.

BREAKING NEWS IN BONYHAD

Hello,

Was just advised by Chava Rivka Giavarini (Illes Eva) that today August 1 all but one dog was removed to a newly built local animal shelter from the Bonyhad Orthodox Cemetery - as far as known by the municipality.

This would not have happened without the concerned, humane and brave help of Chavi's brother Zsolt Illes who lives in Bonyhad and Jozsef Nagy: the old cemetery caretaker.

Zsolt was bitten on his hand.

It is hoped that there are no health issues.

He is a builder and constructed the current fence, which isolated the dogs from visitors.

In a few conversations he impressed me as a very decent, responsible and good person.

I called him to express deep appreciation in my name and the name of the Bonyhad Jewish Community and to wish him Refuah Shlema.

Shalom,

Larry Pfeffer
