Where this comes from

  Entry 23 of the Kobe Jewish Community's refugee register: aged 47, born at Gorlice, a merchant, who arrived in Japan from Kaunas on 2 January 1941.
• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Salomon Weinberger, 1941: born about 1894, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Franci…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Salomon Weinberger, born about 1894 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1893, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco 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.

His wife, Ernestina, is named as his nearest relative, in Gorlice.
