In addition to updating the record for Suzanne Ginsburg, I decided to update the record for Leon Ginsburg, adding 400s for his childhood names, since the title of the book is based on one of them. In addition,
he used a pseudonym (with a formal and informal first name) in order to pass himself off as Polish. At present I am inclined not to add them as 400s to the record, since I doubt that anyone will search by them. But I would be interested to hear if there
are other opinions.

MARC field 368 $c is where this would go in a personal name authority. It can hold any characteristic that doesn't fit elsewhere.
386 may only be used on work and expression records. It was originally proposed for persons too, but the MARC Advisory Committee said that 368 $c was already available
for use.

Hi, Jennifer,
I tried the 386, but OCLC limits the use of that field to records with an author *and* a title in the 1XX field.

Hi
Try:
https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad386.html
And a 670 for the memoir info would be very useful, of course.

Subject: Children of Holocaust survivors
Dear collective wisdom,
I would like to include the term “Children of Holocaust survivors” in a 3XX field for an author’s authority record, which I am upgrading, but I am not sure I see good field for it. In this case I think it would be useful to alert catalogers
that the author of a memoir of her father’s memories of the Holocaust is the same person who writes about iPhone software.
Any suggestions?
