Research Questions

• I need help with the conversion of the Hebrew death date which is given as 22 Feb(ruary) 5623. Is this 22 Sh'vat 5623 and does it convert to 11 Feb 1862?
• Is her age of 70 given in the Jewish records converting to 1792 or 1812 as indicated in the birth date field currently?

1. ↑ Due to rural depopulation and impoverishment after World War I the Jewish community in Volkmarsen had declined to 10 families by 1930. After Hitler's Machtergreifung in January 1933, Jews were also increasingly persecuted in Volkmarsen; the remaining ones were placed in a Judenhaus in 1939 and the remaining 23 deported in 1942.
