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 a Sara Kaufman at entry 3010, born 1931 at Zbójna, who had come from Zbójna; the full name occurs once on the register, and the archive treats the entry as this person's on that basis alone.
• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Szra Kaufman, 1941: born about 1933, 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 Szra Kaufman, born about 1933 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register has no age for the line. 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.
