Where this comes from
Yad Vashem Archives, Jerusalem — the card file of Jewish refugees from Poland who found refuge in various countries, 1939–1941 A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: Yad Vashem's card file of Jewish refugees from Poland, 1939–1941, has a card for Rywka Klementynowska, born 1912, of Białystok, 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.
