ANNOUNCEMENT – THE JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF GREATER MIAMI ZOOM PRESENTATION Sunday, January 28, 2024, at 2:00 PM When people disappear III - Uncle Arnold-Aaron, from Lodz to Russia |
All trace of Aaron Baum, born in Lodz, was lost in the 1930s. He was an engineer, and a fervent communist. He married a Russian woman and had a daughter. He was a very successful company manager in St Petersburg. Then, he disappeared without a trace. In the mid-1960s a nephew of his, who was living in Belgium, went to Moscow to find out about his whereabouts, but returned home empty handed. 80 years later I met someone in Yaffo, Israel, who provided a key piece of information. |
