hree years ago, Armin
Kupfer, a retired elec-
trician in Trenton,
reconnected with rela-
tives he hadn't seen or spoken
with in nearly four decades.
A Holocaust survivor from
Hungary, Mr. Kupfer had
aunts who were still living in
Russia when he and his fa-
ther immigrated to Detroit in
1949. Many of Mr. Kupfer's
family members died during
World War II, but he kept in
touch with his aunts in Kiev.
The transcontinental cor-
respondence came to an
abrupt halt after the war,
during Joseph Stalin's reign
of terror. Until 1990.
A friend showed Mr.
Kupfer a copy of The Jewish
News, which ran an adver-
tisement placed by the He-
brew Immigrant Aid Society.
In the ad, HIAS announced
that two 80-year-old women
in Russia were searching for
their nephew — someone by
the name of Armin Kupfer.
They had heard he was living
near Detroit.
Mr. Kupfer immediately
contacted his aunts through
HIAS and learned they were
living in Moscow. To this day,
they telephone and exchange
letters. Mr. Kupfer says he is
grateful that HIAS put them
back in touch.
HIAS began its long-lost-
relative search — or Location
Service — near the turn of
the century. Over the years,
it has helped many immi-
grants find friends and fam-
ily members, estranged
through war, relocations and
other unfortunate circum-
stances.

SEEKING

"After World War II, the
(location) department grew
because there were so many
displaced persons from
Hitler's concentration camps,"
said Marcia Tabenken at
HIAS headquarters in New
York City. "The program
helped put them in touch
with their U.S. relatives."
Ms. Tabenken says HIAS
receives hundreds of inquiries
each year. Some cases are
simple — just a matter of
plugging the name of a per-
son into a computerized data
bank and finding the corre-
sponding address. Others are
more complicated, lasting up
to five years, at which time
the cases are usually closed if
the search has proven unsuc-
cessful.
People looking for loved
ones generally contact HIAS,
which sends the names of
searchers and persons sought
to Jewish resettlement ser-
vices across the United
States. Detroit's Resettlement
Service generally receives 40
requests each year.
"One mission of Resettle-
ment is reunification," said
Sandy Hyman, director of the
agency in Detroit.
Toward that end, Resettle-
ment Service has asked The
Jewish News to reprint
names of searchers who live
overseas and persons sought
(thought to live in metropoli-
tan Detroit). Applications, on
file at the offices of Resettle-
ment Service in Southfield,
include background informa-
tion on the individuals listed
below. For more information,
call Susan Ulanoff at 559-
1500. ❑
