Tool: yadvashem MCP (yv_search_names, yv_get_name, yv_search_testimonies, yv_get_testimony). Health canary green (yv_health ok=true).
Collection of all records below: "Yad Vashem - Survivors Registration Forms" (T1425304) or "Pages of Testimony" (T1196978) or Testimonies O.3.
NOTE: for the Survivors-registration-form records the public site shows only a generic lead-page image (namesfs.yadvashem.org/leading_folder/survivor_lead_page.jpg), not the original form; the fields below are the index fields, verbatim as returned.

## A. Tzipora herself — Survivors and refugees registration form (NEW)

- Record: **10197533** — https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/names/10197533 (he: /he/names/10197533, "שאלון לרישום ניצולים ופליטים")
- Name fields: last name **Blam**; first names **Feiga · Fania · Tzipora** (he: פיגה · פניה · ציפורה); gender Female

- What it adds: (1) a post-war primary form giving **25.12.1932** (Arolsen card has 25.12.1931; the family says 1932); (2) extra first names Feiga/Fania; (3) the mother's name Ania/Sonia; (4) "ghetto" as her own wartime experience.

## B. Self-pages of Tzipora in the Pages-of-Testimony index (duplicates of known scans — NOT new evidence)

Records 16787652, 16940265, 16940488 ("Tzipora Blam Kutner", fate survived, Page of Testimony) are index entries derived from the *submitter block* of the known pages (checked 16787652: the scan is the page of Moshe Blam, already in docs/yadvashem-pot/6406843_1.jpg; 16940265 = page with father Mendel; 16940488 = page with mother Zelda/Sonia). Not downloaded further. Grade: נשלל כראיה חדשה.

## C. Moshe Shluker — the "Moshe Shluker" who filed the Primer pages (report: "בן-דוד, יש לאתר") — LOCATED

Report says (research_findings.md line 59 / 125): pages 5594221 (Iacov Primer), 5594222 (Haia Primer), 1126285 (Frida Shluker nee Primer) were filed by Moshe Shluker ("son" of Frida), and asks to locate him.

- Cluster **13536470** "Moshe Shluker", survived — https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/names/13536470, four members:
  - **15891503** (Page of Testimony; the submitter's own entry for the Frida page, scan .../16050735_265_6264/55.jpg): Moshe Shluker, father **Iacov**, mother **Frida, maiden name Primer**, residence Lubomil, fate "alive post war".
  - **15886499** (Page of Testimony, scan .../57.jpg): Moshe Shluker, father Iacov, mother Frida, Lubomil, alive post war.
  - **9991637** (Survivors and refugees registration form): Moshe Shluker, born **15/06/1933** Lubomil; father Iacov, mother Frida; family status Child; wartime place Lubomil; liberated Lubomil **1945**; survived.

- Father: **9991603** "Iacov Shluker", b. **1910** Poland, father **Peretz**, wartime Lubomil + Poland, liberated in the **Soviet Union 1945**, survived (Survivors registration form). → Yaakov (Jankel) Shluker, husband of Frida née Primer, survived the war (grade ככל הנראה — same names/place/children's father; no direct statement linking 9991603 to Frida).
- Testimony: Yad Vashem **O.3-12647**, catalogue **5221489**, video + 27-page transcript, recorded 03/08/2004 (site date "03/08/04"), Hebrew, https://collections.yadvashem.org/en/documents/5221489 , YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnYBgeOMQ40 (YadVashemHebrew, 1:44:38).

The video audio was downloaded and transcribed locally: **yv_5221489_moshe_shluker_transcript_ivrit-ai_2026-10-27.md** (machine transcript, not verified against the recording; the YouTube audio has phase-inverted stereo channels — only the left channel was transcribed).
  - **Content that bears on Tzipora (from the machine transcript, timestamps in the file):**
    - 0:04:19–0:04:46: "the one I knew was the family of my cousin (בת דודה), because part of them were with us during the war, but in the end only my cousin remained. **She now lives in Beer Sheva.** — [Interviewer: that aunt was your father's sister?] — **My mother's sister. That is, my mother and her mother were sisters.**" (Tzipora = only surviving child of Zelda née Primer, Frida's sister; lived in Beer Sheva; d. 2006.)
    - 1:41:08: "That's the whole family. **And she is the cousin who is also in Beer Sheva, I am in touch with her.**" (Aug 2004, i.e. Tzipora and Moshe were in contact in 2004.)
    - 1:42:34 (photo shown at the end of the video, frame saved: yv_5221489_video-frame_1-42-40_…jpg): "This too is at Gan Shmuel; this is **Tzip[i]**(machine text: 'ציפ כזה') … my cousin from Beer Sheva; in the middle is my father, and I am on the right" — a photograph of a woman in sunglasses, an older one-eyed man (his father Yaakov) and Moshe. Reading of the name is a machine guess → **ככל הנראה** that the woman is Tzipora Kutner; a family member should view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnYBgeOMQ40&t=6154s .
    - Family (0:10:19, 0:11:32): parents **Frida and Yaakov**; older sister **Esther** (1–1.5 years older than Moshe), younger brothers **Aharon and Abraham**; father a shoemaker (and a village guard with a weapon); the only Jewish family in a village near Luboml; secular, Yiddish/Ukrainian at home.
    - War: Jews of the villages were driven into Luboml in 1941/42 ("the ghetto was not closed"); Moshe, 8-9 years old, was taken back to the village by his parents after a few days; **sister and the two small brothers stayed with another family in the town** while the parents fetched food from villagers; Germans then shot "thousands of Jews" at a long trench near the town (liquidation, 1942) → the three siblings were murdered (0:28:22–0:32:00). The mother was hunted and killed by a hostile villager, who also denounced them (0:22:56–0:24:00; ~1942-43). Moshe and his father lived in forests, barns and with partisans until the Red Army arrived; the father (wounded in the leg in the forest) was drafted, left Moshe with a Jewish woman "Julia" in Luboml; Moshe went to a Polish orphanage in Lublin, then Lindenfels (~2 years), aliyah 1948 via Pardes Hanna to Kibbutz Gan Shmuel; the father (who lost an eye in the Red Army) found him in Oct 1973 (Yom Kippur War).
    - Moshe's own family: wife (born in Uruguay, raised in Brazil), daughter Gila, three grandchildren (in the USA). → the "Gila Shluker Yosivash" whom Ilana Achimeir suggested contacting (report section 2/8 row 5) is almost certainly Moshe's daughter (**ככל הנראה** — same surname, same first name; not stated in a document).
- Grade of identification (Moshe Shluker b. 1933 = Frida Primer's son = Tzipora's first cousin): **כמעט ודאי** — the submitter of the Primer pages is "Moshe Shluker", whose own Page-of-Testimony index entry gives mother "Frida née Primer" and father "Iacov"; survivor forms give b. 15.6.1933 Luboml, same parents' first names; his 2004 testimony and the 1946 GFH testimony place him in the Luboml area and in a Lublin children's home.
- The family POT scans (5594221, 5594222, 1126285) already in docs/yadvashem-pot/ are therefore filed by this cousin (signature "Moshe Shluker", dated 14.4.1999; the form carries an Israeli address and phone — not transcribed here).

## C2. Frida Shluker née Primer's children — the open item "ילדיה של פרידה" (report section 8, row 5) — ANSWERED from Yad Vashem

Three more Pages of Testimony filed by **Moshe Shluker, relationship "Brother"** (same batch 16050735_265_6264, pages 55–58, all signed 14.4.1999; scans saved here):
| record | victim | fields (verbatim) | scan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 886585 | **Esther Shluker**, female, **age 11**, born Lubomil | father **Iacov**, mother **Frida**; died **1942**, Lubomil; submitter Moshe Shluker, "Brother" | yv_886585_pot_esther-shluker_age11_by-brother-moshe.jpg |
| 1109457 | **Aharon Shluker**, male, **age 7** (read on the scan) | father "SHLUKER IACOV", mother "FAIDA [Frida] — maiden name **PRIMER**" (block capitals, same hand as the Frida page); died **1942**, Lubomil; signed "SHLUKER MOSHE", 14/4/99 | yv_1109457_pot_aharon-shluker_by-brother-moshe.jpg |
| 971788 | **Abraham Shluker**, male, **age 4**, born Lubomil | father Iacov, mother Frida; died **1942**, Lubomil; submitter Moshe Shluker, "Brother" | yv_971788_pot_abraham-shluker_age4_by-brother-moshe.jpg |
Together with Frida (1126285: "age 30, 4 children, died 1943 Lubomil") and Moshe (survived) these are **the four children** of Frida and Yaakov Shluker: Esther (11), Aharon (7), Abraham (4), Moshe (b. 1933). They are Tzipora's first cousins; three were murdered in 1942, which agrees with the Luboml ghetto liquidation (Oct 1942) and the murder of Zelda and the small children at Maciejów (summer–autumn 1942).
- Grade: **מאומת כעדות** (pages signed by their brother); the relation to Tzipora rests on "Primer": Frida née Primer, father Iacov Primer (5594221), mother Haia (5594222) = Tzipora's maternal grandparents (report 3.3) → **כמעט ודאי**. The mother's maiden name "PRIMER" is written by Moshe himself on the Aharon page; the 1946 "Perec" in the DP card/GFH catalogue is therefore a 1946 misrendering (ככל הנראה).
