Where this comes from

• 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)
  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 Fania Heller: born 1908 at Kaunas, arrived in 1941 from Kaunas; the year agrees with the age the register gives, the name occurs once on the register, and an arrival in Shanghai in 1941 from Lithuania is the Sugihara route itself, so the archive attaches it under its rule of 19 September 2026 (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press).
