Where this comes from

• HIAS Shanghai lists of refugees leaving for overseas, 1946–1949 — Arolsen Archives, Bad Arolsen, collection 3.1.1.3, unit 19613. A page may be shown singly with this citation; Arolsen is told where it appears.
  A HIAS list of refugees leaving Shanghai in the winter of 1946–47 (Arolsen Archives, 3.1.1.3, unit 19613) names Lejzor Frajberger, Polish, of 723 Point Road, bound for the United States. The list gives no date of birth; the archive takes it as his because it is a HIAS list of the Shanghai refugees, his full name occurs once on the register, and the place and date fit the route he is recorded as taking. The list reads: "105 FRAJBERGER Lejzor, P, 723 Point Rd., U.S.A." The page carries no heading of its own; it appears to belong to the supplementary list of people who left between 15 December 1946 and 24 January 1947, so the date of his departure is not certain.
• Polish rabbis and rabbinical students registered with UNRRA, Shanghai (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, China Office;… — United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Holocaust Survivors and Victims Database, list 48676
  The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration's Shanghai register of Polish rabbis and rabbinical students, indexed by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, has Lejzor-Chaim Frajberger, rabbinical student, arrived in China in Aug 1941, wishing to go to Palestine. The name occurs once on the register; the list is of the refugees who came from Vilna by way of Kobe, and an arrival in Shanghai in Aug 1941 is the route this line is recorded as taking.
