    The petition was accompanied by a birth certificate issued by the Odessa City Council on 12 August 1905, #4216, certified by the Odessa City Council on 28 November 1908, #31837, from which  it can be seen that on 15 October 1897, a son, Aleksandr, was born to Yakov Srulev VAINGURT, a reserve shooter, & to his wife, Liba.

According to the books of the Jewish Society of Odessa Townspeople, enrollees books & the family list under # 2565, 5345, there is someone registered as Srulev VAINGURT, 24 yrs., born on 1 January 1896, a reserve rifleman, from the volunteer Rifle Regiment, &, according to family information, his wife was Liba Zelmanova, with no evidence of an son Aleksandr born on 14 October 1899.

    Aleksandr Yakovlev VAINGURT, registered in the Jewish community according to family information under #5774, shall have his date of birth corrected from 14 October 1899 to 15 October 1897.

The petition was accompanied by a certificate issued by the Odessa City Rabbi, #3240, on 29 December 1888. It was certified by the Odessa City Council on 18 June 1916, #2468, from which it can be seen that on 31 October 1880, Odessa townsman, Mendel RABINOVICH & his wife, Risa, had a daughter, Sara.

In the Jewish Society of Odessa Townspeople, according to regulation #262 & the family list #237, Mendel Volkov RABINOVICH & his wife, Risya Moshkovna, were registered. According to the family information submitted by him in 1893, #694, his daughter was shown without proof, as "Sura", born 31 October 1880.

Having heard the above & based on the Law regarding composition, according to which, Jews were called only by those names under which they were recorded in the birth registers, The Townsmen Council Decided: to change the name of Sura Mendeleva RABINOVICH, recorded according to family information #694, from Sura to the correct, "Sara", as stated in the presented birth certificate. It was recommended that a corresponding order be given to the head of the Jewish community & to the Odessa City Council for the military department.

Skzchenna (?) ROSENBAUM, Laja (?) ROSENFELD

Stamp is Paris, which says: expert sworn translation. I wonder why the birth was in 1912, but the registration was 1929?? Did the family emigrate to France?

It "... hereby certifies that this certificate has authorized the issuancce of a Latvian passport. Until the necessary data are collected, the Consulate General asks all institutions to recognize the temporary certificate as legal."
Note: the date of birth [July 30 1888] is different from an earlier document on this form.

He listed his birthdate as August 7 1889 on the 1927 German ID. He evidently doesn't really know his birth date.

A 1927 proxy statement included Abraham Arthur REINBERG, a Russian subject, living in Paris at 18 rue de l'Echiquier. He was probably Max's brother (Max lived in Berlin at 204 Hohenzollerndamn).

LADOS LIST-DOWNLOADABLE

 LADOS' LIST: Is "...an index of people for whom the Polish legation and Jewish organizations in Switzerland issued Latin American passports during the Second World War".

A downloadable copy is available in Polish and in English at: https://instytutpileckiego.pl/pl/instytut/aktualnosci/instytut-pileckiego-opublikowal-liste-nazwisk-3262-zydow-obj

According to the site, "Research results ...show that during WWII a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland attempted to save 8,000 to 10,000 people from the Holocaust. Jews. Representatives of the Polish Legation in Bern provided forged Latin American passports to threatened people. Researchers "..searched many archives, including Bad Arolsen, Yad Vashem, and the Archive of Modern Records, in Warsaw.... Lados' List show that 24-45% of Jews with forged documents from Paraguay, Honduras, Haiti or Peru survived the Holocaust.... Of this group 796 people definitely survived thanks to their passports, while 957 certainly did not survive the war. The fate of the rest is unknown...." It is surmised that"... Lados' group contributed to saving 2,000 to 3,000 people. Jews....Lados' group helped Jews from various European countries, but most of the identified passports were issued to people from occupied Poland and the Netherlands...When it comes to the documented group of survivors, the majority are Jews from Poland, the Netherlands and Germany....The published list includes the names of famous participants of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising...as well as leaders of Jewish resistance from Slovakia, France, and Italy...."
