• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Feiga Reznik, 1941: born about 1914, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisco).…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Feiga Reznik, born about 1914 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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.
• Manifest of alien passengers, S.S. Yawata Maru, sailing from Yokohama February 6 (uncertain), 1941, arrived San Francisco February 1941 (day not read) (US National Archives, M1410, film 368; read on FamilySearch's copy)
  The National Archives' passenger list of the Yawata Maru (FamilySearch's copy) records Fejga Reznik, 27, a teacher, last living in Wilno, sailing from Yokohama in February 1941 on a US quota immigration visa, bound for an uncle in Boston.
• Yad Vashem Archives, Jerusalem — the card file of Jewish refugees from Poland who found refuge in various countries, 1939–1941
  Yad Vashem's card file of Jewish refugees from Poland who found refuge in various countries, 1939–1941, has a card for Fajga Reznik, born in 1913, of Warsaw, who was in Wilno during the war. The archive attaches it under its rule of 19 September 2026: the card file is a record of the refugees in Wilno, where the road through Sugihara's visas began; the full name occurs once on the register; and the card places the person in Wilno in 1939–41, on the road to Sugihara's visas.
