My new article, Finding Korolowka, appears in the current edition of The Galitzianer: the Quarterly Research Journal of Gesher Galicia (June 2025). It is a meditation on piecing together a town's Holocaust story when few records have survived, but it's also our family's story of survival and loss.

Mildly obsessed with the AAGPBL, and have been researching the lives of its few Jewish players. These cards arrived recently, and I'm over the moon! ⚾️
There's no card for Bea Chester because she wasn't identified until later, and Margaret Wigiser is no longer included in the set*. #aagpbl

Going through the newly digitized and unindexed records at AGAD, and nearly cried when I found this 1933 marriage in Mielnica. I've been looking for any hint of Eige for years! The last trace I had of her was in 1904, living with her grandfather Meyer Hollenberg in Korolowka.

Going through the newly digitized, unindexed additions to the AGAD. Currently knee deep in Mielnica death records. This clerk is officially my new least-favourite-person.
