Where this comes from

• US arrival manifest: Mojsie J Solodownik, Seattle, 1940
  "Seattle Passenger Lists", FamilySearch, entry for Mojsie J Solodownik, 1940. Ship: Heian Maru. Matched from the Heian Maru's Polish-born passenger list (198 people, of whom 57 matched the register). Register No.694 'Mojsiej olodownik' records age 29; the manifest gives born 1911, arriving 19
• "Washington, King, Seattle, Passenger Lists, 1890-1957", FamilySearch — index entry for Mojsie J Solodownik, 1940: born about 1911, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1383 (passenger and crew lists of vessels arriving at…
  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Mojsie J Solodownik, born about 1911 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1940. 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 Seattle in 1940 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.
• Leads — the Yiddish press of New York and Latin America, 1945–1975 (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press)
  A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: a Rabbi Moshe Solodovnik served as rabbi of the Beth Hamedrash Hagadol congregation in New York from about 1947, according to the Yiddish daily Der Tog in 1959 (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press).
• 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 Mojsze Solodownik, born 1911, of Pińsk, 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.
