Where this comes from

• List of Refugees, Vilna, 1940 — JDC Archives, New York, collection AR 33/44, file 00876. The contemporary register of Polish Jewish refugees in Lithuania, running to more than nine thousand numbered entries; the fullest independent check…
  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has, at entry 3905, Mowsza Mandelman, born 1895, who had come from Warsaw; the year agrees with the register's age.
• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Moszko Mandelman, 1941: born about 1895, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisc…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Moszko Mandelman, born about 1895 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1895, and the two agree. 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.
• Manifest of alien passengers, SS Asama Maru, sailing from Yokohama, Feb. 20 (day uncertain), 1941, arrived San Francisco date not read (US National Archives, M1410, film 368; read on FamilySearch's copy)
  The National Archives' passenger list of the Asama Maru (FamilySearch's copy) records Moszko Mandelman, 46, a journalist born in Siedlce and last living in Warsaw, sailing from Yokohama in February 1941 with his wife Pesza on US visas issued in Tokyo, bound for an uncle in New York. The age is within a year of the one the register's compilers recorded for him, and the wife beside him is herself on the register.
