August 2003 proved to be a banner month as we added 14 updates
and 31 new entries. In this effort we recognize our
special volunteers for August: Max Heffler, Mike Kalt,
Sandra Krisch, and Judy Montel.
Without their help, we would not have been able to
process these translations in August.

It is our pleasure also to recognize a special translator,
Morris Gradel, who translated himself or coordinated the
translation of 25 chapters >from the Pinkas HaKehillot,
Poland, volume 7, which went online this month.
Last year in October he submitted a list of the
chapters he wanted to translate, which he submitted at
one time at the end of July. Our wonderful html team got
them online in record time.
Congratulations, Morris.

Nolan Altman contributed the translation of 5 chapters

from this same volume of the Pinkas HaKehillot.

Thank you, Nolan.

Without the generosity and help of all translators
and coordinators of translations to the Yizkor Book
Project we could not operate. Our heartfelt thanks
to all of you. Please remember that all the
translations are accessible >from
http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html.
