• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Icchok Jehuda Katz, 1947: born about 1919, Polish. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Franci…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Icchok Jehuda Katz, born about 1919 in Polish, arriving at San Francisco in 1947 on the Marine Adder. The register's compiled line gives 1920, and the two are 1 year apart, and the name occurs once on the register. The ship's manifest heading says she sailed from Shanghai, and a passenger born in Poland landing at San Francisco in 1947 from Shanghai is the route's end: the refugees who waited out the war there. So the entry is taken as this person's under the archive's rule of 19 September 2026 for records from the route. The sheet is NARA microfilm publication M1410, film 394, image 766, read by the archive on 20 September 2026.

  Yad Vashem's card file of Jewish refugees from Poland who found refuge in various countries, 1939–1941, has a card for Ichhok Kac, born in 1920, of Pinsk, who was in Wilno during the war. The archive attaches it under its rule of 19 September 2026: the card file is a record of the refugees in Wilno, where the road through Sugihara's visas began; the full name occurs once on the register; and the card places the person in Wilno in 1939–41, on the road to Sugihara's visas.
