Where this comes from

• JDC Japan Emigration List — Kobe yeshivas, 1941 (Mir, Kamieniec, Slonim, Kleck, Radin, Telz, Lubavitch & others)
  12 1914 Brzesc n/B
• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Rywka Ejdelman, 1941: born about 1916, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisco)…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Rywka Ejdelman, born about 1916 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1915, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco in 1941 fits the route through Japan, so the entry is taken as this person's under the archive's rule of 19 September 2026 for records from the route.
• JDC Archives, New York, collection AR 33/44 file 53 (the Jewish Community of Kobe's returns to the JDC, 1941; Set I, item 00761) — Set I pp. 24–32 — April 1941 (and a May continuation sheet)
  She left Yokohama on the Ginyo Maru on 20 April 1941, bound for the USA (the Jewish Community of Kobe's list of refugees who left Japan in April 1941 (JDC Archives, AR 33/44 file 53)). The list reads: "″ Rywka". (Ginyo Maru, Yokohama, 20 April 1941, the USA.)
