Where this comes from

• "California, Los Angeles, Passenger Lists, 1907-1948", FamilySearch — index entry for Binem Apelejg, 1941: born about 1911, Warsaw, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1764 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at Los Angel…
  FamilySearch's index of the Los Angeles passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Binem Apelejg, born about 1911 in Warsaw, Poland, arriving at Los Angeles in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1911, and the two agree. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at Los Angeles 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.

  The manifest sheet itself has him on the Heiyo Maru, which sailed from Yokohama on 13 February 1941: Apelejg Binem, aged 30, single, the manager of a company, reading Polish and English, Polish, born at Warsaw, last permanent residence Kobe, with no American visa, since he was only passing through. The ship called at San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles, where the inspector refused him shore leave on 5 March 1941 and recorded his departure with the ship on 7 March. The Kobe community's list sends this line on to Chile, and the Heiyo Maru's next port on that voyage was Valparaíso, where other people from the register landed from the same sailing. The birth year agrees with the register's compiled age, and the name occurs once on the register.
