Where this comes from

• List of Refugees, Vilna, 1940 — JDC Archives, New York, collection AR 33/44, file 00876. The contemporary register of Polish Jewish refugees in Lithuania, running to more than nine thousand numbered entries; the fullest independent check…
  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has, at entry 3961, Icchok Mondrawicz, born 1912 at Łódź, who had come from Łódź; the year agrees with the register's age.
• She'arim, 6 November 1947 (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press)
  A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: a Rabbi Yitzchak Mondrowicz was lecturing in the Agudat Yisrael movement in the Land of Israel in 1947 (She'arim, 6 November 1947) (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press); the register's Icchok Mondrowicz was of the Aguda youth, but nothing yet ties the two by age or town, so it is shown as a lead.
