“I Remember Jewish Drohobycz” &
Highlights of the 2005 IAJGS Las Vegas Conference

In the short video, “I Remember Jewish Drohobycz,” JGSLA founding member and rabbinical scholar, David Einsiedler, who was born in Drohobycz in 1919, recounts the heart and soul of shtetl life between the two World Wars. Through personal reminiscences, both humorous and heart-wrenching, he leads us through the streets and into the homes and schools of this Galician town. David describes moving to Lvov, then to the university in Pisa, Italy and then on to America in the late 1930s. We hope to have David in attendance to answer questions after the screening about the vanished world of Eastern European Jewish life portrayed in this film.
JGSLA members who attended the IAJGS conference in Las Vegas will discuss the presentations they found most enlightening and entertaining. They will discuss new genealogical research and databases presented in Las Vegas and will provide regional special interest group (SIG) updates.

Refreshments will be served.
