I'm sorry. Losing a dog is so painful.

Congratulations!

Rough Guide gives Molise two pages, and I think Lonely Planet is the same. Sort of unbelievable.

Isernia, but I've stayed around Campobasso before. How did you end up in Molise?

I love Molise. I'm here right now, in fact! Stunning area and I like how they actually have (green) contorni in this part of the country.

I love the Judith prints I got 😊

I don't know of an already-defined style, but I would cite it the same way a newspaper article is cited, with the addition of (advertisement).

I still haven't forgiven Storm Éowyn

Thank you. They have made the process easy and the consulate has been very helpful, which makes it easier. I am not sure if I would want to fight for it. My father has already received his passport so my application should be very straightforward.

Glad you're feeling better!

Relatedly, if you haven't been in an archives you have no idea just how much historical material is not online, not even a digital record of it. An LLM cannot research data it doesn't have. It can't even extrapolate where to find that material.

After their deportation to Auschwitz, there is no further record of Milka, Bernhard, or Rosel.

Mayer and Milka and Bernhard and Rosel were sent to the Mechelen transit camp, halfway between Antwerp and Brussels, to wait for their deportation. Mayer died in the transit camp, and Milka and Bernhard and Rosel were deported to Auschwitz on Transport XVIII on 15 January 1943.

In November, 1942 the entire family were to be deported, but the Association des Juifs en Belgique were able to secure a place for Bernhard and Rosel's young son in one of their orphanages. This photo was taken at the orphanage; the boy on the right is him.

Bernhard married Rosel (Rosa) Kardimann in Brussels in 1935 when he was 30 and she was 27. Rosel was born in Vienna to Polish parents, but like Bernhard, had been raised in Germany. They ran a grocery store and had a son in 1939.

Mayer was a shoemaker and my great-grandfather's brother. He and Milka (Malka) Goldberg were born in Poland, but emigrated to Germany where their son Bernhard was born. They stayed there for 23 years. When their daughter Frieda moved to Brussels the rest of the family moved to Belgium as well.

I wish I knew more about why they used the other names and then settled on Goldberg.

My Goldberg line is originally from Poland, where Jewish people only took surnames in the 1800s. The first time they used a surname rather than patronymic was the name Gielbert, then Goldbard or Goldbart was used several times, until they finally settled on using Goldberg continuously from 1850ish.
