Dear friends, The archivists of the Jerusalem Archives of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (AJJDC) are trying to locate the birth records of the 2,200 Jewish babies born to the DPs on Cyprus during the years 1946-1949.
In the collections of the Jerusalem Archives, we have typed lists of some 500 births. These lists were compiled by the British military authorities on Cyprus and sent to the AJJDC. In the University of Southampton (UK) Library, we have located a handwritten "pinkas ha-leydot" listing 300 or so births. This "pinkas" appears to have been written by a rabbi in the camps. It is our hope that someone out there possesses (or knows of) a "pinkas" similar to that in the Univ. of Southampton Library. We would be deeply grateful for any assistance you can provide. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Yitzhak _______________ Yitzhak Teutsch Director, Jerusalem Archives American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee Beit HaDefus Street 11, Lobby 2, Floor 3 Givat Shaul Jerusalem, Israel Tel.: 02-653-6403, ext. 1 Fax: 02-651-2312 E-mail: [email protected] Only 999 days remain until the centenary of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee on August 31, 2014!
