Where this comes from

• The 1950 United States census, Manhattan, enumeration district 31-1308, sheet 4, lines 6–7: Oskar and Gizela Schenker (US National Archives, 1950census.archives.gov)
  In April 1950 the United States census found a Gizela Schenker in Manhattan, New York, aged 49, born in Poland, in the household of Oskar Schenker (No. 476), whom it gives as her husband. Sugihara's ledger calls her his sister, so whether this is the same woman is not settled (National Archives, 1950 census, read 20 October 2026).
