  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Dawid Koziebroda, born about 1914 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1913, 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.
• JDC Archives, New York, collection AR 33/44 file 53 (the Jewish Community of Kobe's returns to the JDC, 1941; Set I, item 00761) — Set I pp. 24–32 — April 1941 (and a May continuation sheet)
  He left Yokohama on the Hikawa Maru on 17 April 1941, bound for the USA (the Jewish Community of Kobe's list of refugees who left Japan in April 1941 (JDC Archives, AR 33/44 file 53)). The list reads: "Kosiebroda Dawid". (Hikawa Maru, Yokohama, 17 April 1941, the USA.)

  The National Archives' passenger list of the Hikawa Maru (FamilySearch's copy) records Dawid Koziebroda, 27, a student born in Pruszków and last living in Vilnius, sailing from Yokohama in 1941 on a US transit visa issued in Moscow, bound for a friend in New York. The age agrees with the one the register's compilers recorded for him within a year, and the sailing from Yokohama in 1941 on a Moscow transit visa is the route his Sugihara visa opened. The compilers give his calling as teacher; the list says student.
