Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] Take care what you share
Dear IAJGS Leaders,
Many of us, our family, and our friends post exciting travel plans and updates on Facebook to keep our family and friends informed. After all it will only be seen by select people. Don't be so sure. This month's Praticing Safe Computing article addresses some of the risks entailed in posting information on Facebook and other social meadia platforms.
"Take care what you share," the 80th monthly article in the Practicing Safe Computing series, has been published in the July 2022 issue of "Venturing into Our Past", the Newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV). Current and prior newsletters are freely available at the Society's website, https://www.jgscv.org
All Practicing Safe Computing articles published to date are available in a single searchable PDF. This resource is freely accessible at https://tinyurl.com/
Best,

Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] (US-Ukraine) USHMM Make Holocaust Related Ukrainian Archives Available Online
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) has made Holocaust-related Ukrainian Archives available on line with special permission from the Ukrainian State Archives. This results in 10 million pages of records that will be accessible online for the first time.
The first one million pages are now searchable at https://tinyurl.com/562kfn4u
Original URL:
These archives include historical materials from before, during and after the Holocaust. They include collections topics such as:
- The activities of Jewish political, cultural, educational and philanthropic organizations;
- information about individuals, census data, vital statistics, lists of names, personal files, etc.;
- pogroms during the Russian civil war, closure of synagogues and dissolution of Jewish communities by the Soviet authorities, demographic and statistical information and other documentation;
- the Nazi German administration in occupied Ukraine and Ukrainian auxiliary police;
- Jewish ghettos;
- postwar developments, such as Soviet investigations of war crimes committed by Germans and their allies on the occupied territories, return of evacuated populations, restitution of Jewish property and war crimes trials and Soviet antisemitism.
With one of Europe’s largest pre-war Jewish populations, Ukraine was the site of critical events in Holocaust history, including the beginning of Nazi Germany’s systematic mass killings of Jews after the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. At least 1.5 million Jews were killed within Ukraine’s current borders.
