My synagogue in Boynton Beach, Florida is in possession of the Torah from the Kutna Hora - Here is a link to a story about it

I am looking for anyone who has knowledge of any living survivors or descendants of survivors from Kutna Hora so we can contact them and share information. Thank you for your help

Please go to this project https://www.geni.com/projects/Jewish-families-from-Kutn%C3%A1-Hora-... to see if any names look familiar. Perhaps some of us can help you find living descendants.

I believe that the only living survivor is Dr. Dagmar Leblova who lives in Prague- I do have the names of residents from Kutna Hora who were transported to Terezin in 1942. I can post them here if you'd like

Michael - how are you defining "survivors"? Are you including as survivors those who got out before WWII?

Michael Simon go to this link:
https://www.google.co.il/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&am...
or do this search in Google ""site:www.holocaust.cz kutna hora"

The following list could give you many testimonies in Yad Vashem:

in the meanwhile I'm still searching....

David - I guess I am defining survivors as anyone who actually lived in Kutna Hora and is still alive today

So descendants of survivors would not include people alive today who were born outside KH if the preceding generations are no longer with us?

Yes that would work - I'm looking for anyone who has a connection to Kutna Hora so if a parent or other relative lived there I'd be interested. Thanks

Michael - by Czech web pages Mr. Marek Lauermann family lived in Kutna Hora and had Jewish background. Mr. Lauermann was also in contact with Dr. Leblova. From You Tube report based on Mr. Lauermann books survived only 21 persons from Kutna Hora. By my opinion he is the man you are lookíng for. Jiri.
