 Today
"Mitsva" Association and the Chairman of WCRJ coordination board
Mikhail Nemirovsky (the USA) conducted the third online video conference
Almaty - New York.
The meeting was devoted to genealogy and history of Jewish
families. This time the talk was given by the head of HIAS Location Service
Valery Bazarov. The aim of the meeting was to familiarize Kazakhstan people
with the methods of family history reconstruction. It will help community
members to fill a want of their knowledge about their grandparents, and
to unite families separated during the war, repressions, and massacres.
 About
30 people gathered in the "Rimon" JCC hall. People of different
ages came to the meeting. The web conference proved that the issue of
family history reconstruction was topical not only for the aged, but also
for the young generation of Kazakhstan Jews.
The next web meeting Almaty - New York is planned in
a month and will be devoted to statistical investigations of the world
Jewish communities held by Prof. Sam Kliger.
