Where this comes from

  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has, at entry 5696, Anna Szatensztejn, 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 Anna Szatenstejn, 1940: 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 Anna Szatenstejn, born about 1895 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1940. 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 1940 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 Tatuta Maru, sailing port and date not read, arrived San Francisco November 19 (uncertain), 1940 (US National Archives, M1410, film 366; read on FamilySearch's copy)
  The same Tatuta Maru list (National Archives, FamilySearch's copy) records Anna Szatensztejn, 45, born in Vilnius, travelling with her husband Władysław and their children to New York in November 1940.
