• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Szlama Z Czerwonogora, 1947: born about 1899, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Fra…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Szlama Z Czerwonogora, born about 1899 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1947 on the General W. H. Gordon. The register's compiled line gives 1900, and the two are 1 year apart, and the name occurs once on the register. The ship's manifest heading says she sailed from Shanghai, and a passenger born in Poland landing at San Francisco in 1947 from Shanghai is the route's end: the refugees who waited out the war there. So the entry is taken as this person's under the archive's rule of 19 September 2026 for records from the route. The sheet is NARA microfilm publication M1410, film 388, image 261, read by the archive on 20 September 2026.
• Leads — the Yiddish press of New York and Latin America, 1945–1975 (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press)
  A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: in January 1941 the Jewish Labor Committee in New York published in the Forverts a list of people whose relatives it was trying to reach; a Shlomo Czerwonogora is on it (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press).
• La-karov ve-la-rachok, 21 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 21 March 1946, lists Szlama Czerwonogora: born 1899 at Brok, a bookkeeper, arrived in 1941 from Wilno; 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).

  The Kobe Jewish Community's refugee register lists Szloma Samuel Czerwonogora, aged 42, born at Brok, who reached Japan on 24 February 1941, with his daughter Roza, aged 16, on the next line. Sugihara's ledger lost the first letter of his given name; the register has it in full.

  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has, at entry 8041, Czerwonogóra Szlama Zanwel, born 1899 at Brok, who came from Brok, with Czerwonogóra Róża beside him; the year agrees with the age the register gives, and the town with what the archive already holds.
