Where this comes from

• US arrival manifest: Jeruchim Racimora, Seattle, 1941
  "Seattle Passenger Lists", FamilySearch, entry for Jeruchim Racimora, 1941. Ship: Hikawa Maru. Matched from the Hikawa Maru's Polish-born passenger list (162 people, 35 matched). Register No.206 'Jeruchim acimora' records age 33; the manifest gives born 1908, arriving 1941.

  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Jeruchim Racimora, born about 1908 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1907, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at Seattle 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.
• Find a Grave memorial 144114735 — the grave of Jerry Racimora, Mount Sinai Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles
  A possible record, not yet confirmed: a marker at Mount Sinai Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, photographed for Find a Grave, is for a Jerry Racimora, 1907 to 1998, beloved husband, brother and uncle. The birth year is the one the register gives for this visa holder, who landed at Seattle in 1941, and the surname occurs once on the register; nothing else yet ties the marker to him, so it is shown as a lead.
• Yad Vashem Archives, Jerusalem — the card file of Jewish refugees from Poland who found refuge in various countries, 1939–1941
