Where this comes from

• The Kobe relatives list — refugees at Kobe in 1941 recorded with their relatives abroad. Seventy-six pages in numbered sheets (LIST No. 7, No. 16 and others), each line giving a name, age, birthplace, occupation and citizenship, and then…
  Entry 8 of the Kobe community's list of refugees and their relatives abroad: aged 17, born at Warsaw.
• 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 1073); the names closely match this register line — approved by the owner's review, 19 Aug 2026 — the ledger reads: Kaszynski Tadeusz, student, ROMAN CATHOLIC, born 26 February 1912 Radom, single; registered 20 July 1941; 84 Route Pichon; Tokyo-issued passport of 7 March 1941 (Ser. II 290464) on a British Embassy Kaunas certificate of 12 December 1939 (K-690).
• National Archives and Records Administration, Alien Case Files (Record Group 566), catalog descriptions read through the NARA Catalog API
  A possible match, not yet confirmed: The National Archives holds an alien case file for Tadeusz Kaszynski, born 26 February 1912 in Poland, who entered the United States at Miami on 15 April 1954 and was naturalised in New York on 29 June 1959 (file A8652696, NARA catalog NAID 608739257). The name agrees, and the birth year agrees with the register's compiled age of 28, but the Kobe community's list on this page gives the line an age of 17, which would make him a different man; held as a lead until the age is settled.
• La-karov ve-la-rachok, 31 March 1946 — the Far Eastern Palestine Committee's list of Jewish refugees in Shanghai (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press)
  A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: the Far Eastern Palestine Committee's list of Jewish refugees in Shanghai, printed by the Jewish Agency Search Bureau's bulletin La-karov ve-la-rachok on 31 March 1946, lists Tadeusz Kaszynski: born 1912 at Radom, a student, arrived in 1941 from Poland; the year agrees with the register's compiled age, but the Kobe community's list of refugees and their relatives gives an age of 17 and Warsaw (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press).
