To the Readers of This Day…

Why do I write about the Holocaust and the Jews? I didn't learn about the Holocaust while I attended the Cedar Rapids School system. Not even at John F. Kennedy High School. It wasn’t until I was at Judson College in the fall of 1976. I met someone who was Jewish my senior year at Coe College. He would later be the best man at my wedding. Our father learned about the Holocaust after we discovered our Jewish Ancestry through DNA when I started writing about it. That was just a few years ago. He is 77!.

As a historian part of what I do is record the past and present and pass it along to the future. The discovery of our ancestry through DNA has connected us to many with common ancestors. The question is though, why so few? The answer is the Holocaust. No one came to this conclusion before. So while people tire of hearing of the Holocaust on a daily basis and all this stuff about the Jews, it is part of our ancestry. We just didn't know it. So I will keep writing and putting the pieces together because some day in the future someone will want to know.

Jeff

This Day…

April 26, 1531

The twenty-third Chief, Ewen Raadh nan Cath, of Straghuordill, was summoned before Parliament and charged with rebellion by acts dated, April 26th, 1531 and September 9th,

1545 (temps. James V. and Mary). The summons was finally deserted, August 4, 1546.[1]







1400-1532

40,000 Incas rule over 10 million who were not.





[2]

April 26, 1615



On April 26th, 16l5, Sir Lauchlan MacKinnon is appointed one of the commissioners of fire and sword against the Macdonalds of Kintyre and Islay.[3]





April 26, 1654: The Jews were expelled from Brazil. The city of Recife had been taken from the Dutch by the Portuguese. As a Dutch city, Recife had been hospitable to the Jews. But Portugal meant the Inquisition, forced conversion or exile. It was the Jews fleeing from Recife who ended up in New Amsterdam later in 1654 and thus began what would become the American Jewish Community. Professor Arnold Witzner, author of “Jews In Colonial Brazil” the Jews could have remained in Brazil if they had converted. They chose not to which meant that “all openly professing Jews left Brazil” prior to this date. “A total of 16 ships transported the Jewish and Dutch colonists from Recife. Some claim as many as 5,000 Jews left Recife at this time. Most of these Jews returned to Holland; some relocated to colonies in the Caribbean. Twenty-three of the Jews aboard one of these ships eventually arrived in New Amsterdam (New Netherland/New York) on September 7, 1654. There are at least two versions of the story of how these Jews came to settle in New Amsterdam. One version is that the original ship was captured by pirates at one point. The Jews were subsequently taken aboard the French ship the St. Charles, and this ship brought them to New Amsterdam. According to Wiznitzer, there was no capture by pirates. Instead, the Jews were driven by adverse winds to Spanish-held Jamaica. From there they boarded the small French frigate, Sainte Catherine, which took them to New Amsterdam.”[4]



April 26, 1655: The directors of the Dutch West India Co. refused to grant permission to Governor Peter Stuyvesant to exclude Jews from New Amsterdam. This put an end to official efforts to bar Jews from North America. The Dutch West India Co. also specified that no restriction of trade be imposed upon the Jewish settlers. Thus it guaranteed not only the physical inviolability of the Jews but also their orderly economic development and progress. The only condition contained in the directive provided that "the poor among them shall be supported by their own nation." This gave further impetus to the growth of Jewish philanthropy in the New World.[5]





April 26, 1737: Without any warning, the King of Prussia ordered that the decree limiting the number of Jewish families allowed to live in Berlin be enforced. According to a document entitled “General privilege and regulations to be observed concerning the Jews in his Majesty's dominions,” issued in 1730, the King had granted the Jews the right to settle 120 families in the capital city. By 1737, the number of Jewish families had risen to 180 and the king wanted these additional sixty families to depart even if it meant a loss of tax revenue.[6]



1738

WILLIAM CRAWFORD, my 5th Great Grandfather

* Learned surveying from Washington at age 16.[7]



1738

A number of Harrison’s settled in Virginia in the early Seventeen Century. The connections between them are difficult to establish. In this sketch, an effort’ has been made to trace the family connection] of those Harrison’s who are known to have first settled in~ the region the Rappahannock River, and who later removed from there, making several stops in other places in Virginia, and finally reaching that part of Pennsylvania., which was, at the time they settled there, still considered part of the “Old Dominion’. ‘This section of then unknown territory, was called the Virginia County of Augusta, or West Augusta, and since it was here, that the Harrison family, who were the ancestors of the Torrences, decided I settle, it may be of interest to give a brief history of its formation. The Virginia County: of West Augusta was erected in November 3, 1738, and embraced all of the western and northern parts of that colony including an immense tract which is now Pennsylvania, west of the meridian of the western boundary of Maryland. ,

Virginia claimed jurisdiction, for thirty-eight years, after its formation, over all the present county of Fayette, except a strip on its eastern side, and all the territory between the Monongahela and the Ohio Rivers.

1738: Jews expelled from Wurtemburg.[9]

1738: Pope Clement XII issued his famous Bull, “In Eminenti”. Clement reacted to the threat against his throne by excommunicating all Masons, banning all intercourse with them, and commanding that they be suppressed and punished. [10]



1738-43

Frederick VA formed 1738-43 from Orange.[11]

April 26, 1756: The governor, on receiving this letter, immediately ordered out one-half of the militia in 10 of the upper counties Colonel Fairfaxs, one of the council, wrote to Colonel Washington, (April 26): “The House of Burgesses are pleased with the Governor’s orders, and depend on your vigilance and success. Your endeavours in the service and defence of your country must redound to your honor; therefore do not let any unavoidable interruptions sicken your mind in the attempts you may pursue. Your good health and fortune are the toast at every table. Among the Romans, such a general acclamation and public regard, shown to any of their chieftains, were always esteemed a high honor, and gratefully accepted.”

Landon Carter also wrote as follows: “Virginia has been a neglected Colony by the mother country, and had there been a more active king on the throne of France, they must have made a conquest of it long ago. Should we talk of obliging men to serve the country, you are sure to hear a fellow mumble over the words ‘liberty’ and ‘proerty’ a thousand times. Sir, I think as you do. I have endeavoured, though not on the field, yet in the senate, as much as possible to convince the country of danger, and they know it; but like stingy creatures they are willing to wait for rains to wet the powder, and rats to eat the bow-strings of the enemy, rather than attempt to drive them from their frontiers.” [12]

April 26, 1791: The Cherokee Indians cede the majority of their land to the United Stats, in the Treaty of Holton.[13]

April 26, 1805: The Lewis and Clark[14] Expedition reaches the mouth of the Yellowstone River.

April 26, 1812: The British commander on the Detroit frontier, Major General Henry Procter, had been urged to attack Presque Isle (present day Erie, Pennsylvania), where the Americans were constructing a flotilla intended to seize control of Lake Erie, but Procter refused unless he received substantial reinforcements. Instead, he decided upon an attack on Fort Meigs, to disrupt American preparations for a summer campaign and hopefully capture supplies.[4] Harrison received word of Procter's preparations, and hastened to the fort with 300 reinforcements, increasing the garrison to a total of 1,100 men.[2] Embankments were hastily thrown up inside the fort as a protection against artillery fire. Ancestor and future president, William Henry Harrison, had persuaded Isaac Shelby, the Governor of Kentucky, to call up a brigade of 1,200 Kentucky militia under Brigadier General Green Clay. Clay's brigade had followed Harrison down the Maumee, but had not reached the fort before it was besieged.The Seige of Fort Meigs. Procter's force disembarked at the mouth of the Maumee on April 26. His force consisted of 423 men of the 41st Regiment of Foot, 63 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, 31 men of the Royal Artillery, 16 men from other units, and 462 Canadian militia. He also had roughly 1,250 American Indian warriors led by Shawnee chief Tecumseh. His artillery consisted of two 24-pounder guns (which had been captured at Detroit), nine lighter guns and two gunboats mounting 9-pounder guns.[2]

It took several days for the British force to move up the Maumee and set up batteries. Most of these on the north side of the river, but one was set up on the south side. Most of the Indians also were on the south side of the river, loosely investing the fort. [15]



April 26, 1854

In the next year, 1854, the only child of Conrad and Cordelia was born on April 26 and he was named “Maurice”. I believe Maurice

would have been only about a year old when Conrad and Cordelia moved by oxen and covered wagon from Morefield Township, Clark County, Ohio, to just north of Marion, Iowa. (Ref #5 backside) A more recent map of the Springfield area shows the land now covered by the man-made Lake Lagonda which is an old Indian name for the community.[16]RR[17]

April 26, 1865: Dr. William McKinnon Goodlove (1st cousin, 3 times removed) and the 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Bennett’s House . The 57th Ohio seemed to be everywhere…and they were. I visited Bennett’s house a few years ago with Jacqulin and Anna and it is a small place in the middle of nowhere. What a moment that must have been for William McKinnon Goodlove.



Bennett Place State Historic Site, Durham, North Carolina

Reconstructed farm home of James Bennett and site where Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his army to Union General William T. Sherman on April 26, 1865. This surrender followed Lee’s by seventeen days and ended the Civil War in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.[21]



April 26, 1865: John Wilkes Booth is shot to death by Union soldiers in a barn near Bowling Green, Virginia.[22]



April 26, 1881: Pogroms that have been spreading across the Ukraine, reached Kiev.[23]



April 26, 1890: Oskar Gottlob was born in Brno April 26, 1890 to Zigmund and Sofie. He was a merchant. Prior to WWII he lived in Brno, Czechoslovakia. During the war he was in Brno, Czechoslovakia. Oskar perished September 29, 1942 in Auschwitz, Camp at the age of 54. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted on 15-May-1999 by his nephew.



April 26, 1917: Whether Vogt’s visit would have bewen enough to rekindle interest in rural school consolidation among Buck Creek Church members hjad U.S. entry into World War I not intervened cannot, of course, be determined. The patriotic fervor surrounding U.S. entry into the war swept through Midwestern farm communities, and Buck Creek was no exszception. One of Chalice’s first sermons after the declaration of war was entitled “Was Jesus in Sympathy with War?[24] He argued that Chjrist would have bewen in sympathy with Allies in the war effort. He also introduced the theme that would remain the dominant one for the remainder of his pastorate at Buck Creek, that it was the duty of American farmers to help win the war by dramatically increasing food production. Barely had Vogt left Buck Creek, when aiding the Allied war effort through increased agricultural production became the principal goal of Buck Creek’s commumntiy organizing initiatives. An apparent global geopolitical conflict had displaced local and regional conflict over rural school consolidation as the focus of political discussion and debgatre in the area.



Late April 1917: In late April 1917, the U.S. government organized a series of “conservation conferences” throughout the Midwest to identify and coordinate local efforts for achieving vast increases in food production. Probably because of Chalice’s rapport with farmers in the area, businessmen in the Hopkinton Commercial Club sent him as their delegate to one of these conferences held in Iowa City. Upon his return, he gave a series of rousing addresses, beginning with one at the Buck Creek Church, followed by repeat performances before the commercial clubs of Manchester and Hopkinton. His theme at each was how to organize farmers and farmworkers throughout the county to support the war effort. As he put it, “America is not fighting for territory or money, but to protect the democracy of the world. Every man, woman and child must do his bit.”[25]

April 26, 1933 – The Gestapo, the official secret police force of Nazi Germany, is established. [26]

April 26, 1933: Hitler met with Bishop Wilhelm Berning of Osnabrück and Monsignor Steinmann, prelates representing the Roman Catholic Church in Germany. Hitler claimed that he is only doing to the Jews what the Catholic Church has already done to them for 1600 years. He reminded the prelates that the Church has regarded the Jews as dangerous and pushed them into ghettos. Hitler suggested that his anti-Jewish actions are "doing Christianity a great service." Bishop Berning and Monsignor Steinmann later described the talks as "cordial and to the point."[27]

April 26, 1938: Directives for the expropriation of Jewish property are issued in Austria.[28]



April 26, 1942: Hitler’s absolute power is extended after a speech in the Reichstag predicts major victories for German armies in the field.[29]



April 26, 1945: French Vichy Government leader Marshal Petain is arrested after crossing into Switzerland.[30]
