Where this comes from

• The Shanghai Ledger — register of Polish citizens kept by the Consulate of Poland in Shanghai, 1934-1943 (original at the Archives of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ref. 43/2003; digitised by the Library of Congress; indexed as…
  Registered with the Polish Consulate in Shanghai (ledger entry 1340) — found on reading the ledger page itself — the ledger reads: Altminc Laja Dwojra, born 6 July 1903 Warsaw — named as wife on her husband Jozef Altminc's Shanghai entry 1340 (December 1941, 925 Avenue Joffre), with daughter Ewa.
• World Jewish Congress, London: 'List of refugees in Shanghai', received in London 11 June 1946, 10 sheets, no list of nationalities — sheet 3, headed 'List of Jewish refugees registered with HIAS Shanghai, China, address c/o HIAS, Shangh…
  Sheet 3 of the World Jewish Congress's copy of the HIAS Shanghai list (received in London 11 June 1946; Arolsen Archives 3.1.1.3, DocID 78796289, read online 18 September 2026) lists 'Altminc Laja Dw., 1903, Warschau' with her husband Jos. (1898) and daughter Eva (1927). The year and the abbreviated double name are those of the Polish Consulate's Shanghai ledger (Laja Dwojra, born 6 July 1903 at Warsaw), so the line is hers.
