The typical search for the blog owner of Jimbao Today may look like follows:
Hi Roman,
I found you by doing internet searches for “Kastelholm + 11 July 1945" after finding a list in the Arolsen Archive that contained Marianne’s name, headed "DISPLACED PERSONS LEAVING ON KASTLEHOLM [sic] II-7-I945”. My searches led me initially to one or more of the pages of your "Jim Bao" blog but I could not work out who "Jim Bao” might be or identify any way of contacting him. Then I found another web page entitled "Systrarna Jakubowitz" at https://www.shma.online/systrarna-jakubowitz. A "MAIL" link was at the bottom of that web page. I clicked on that link, which opened an email with your address but I did not know who you were then because I had not read the introductory page for the SHMA website, which I now see contains your name.
Regards
Cameron
Actually, for 18 years I was not aware of the fact that my e-mail address was just visible to me when writing but not to the readers.
I was not aware of that because there was (is) a continuous stream of people finding me and asking for help to find or send information about their relatives who came to Sweden at the end of WWII.

She was born in Jihlava (Iglau) in Moravia (also my mother’s hometown) in 1924. Her family owned a glassware factory there. She was deported to Theresienstadt in November 1942 and then to Auschwitz in May 1944, where she spent several weeks before being sent to Christianstadt (a sub-camp of Gross-Rosen) for seven months. From there, she was sent on a death march to Cheb, on the German/Czech border, before being taken by rail to Bergen-Belsen. Her parents and younger brother were killed at Auschwitz. Above, the Anamneses, a preliminary case history of a medical patient, Marianne, written the day after arrival in Stockholm. |
