Where this comes from
- 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 Berek Kon, aged 26, of Pabianice, 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.
