Yizkor Book Project, May 2019 #romania
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I will start off by noting that this will probably be my last Yizkor Book monthly report. I will be shortly stepping down as Yizkor Book Project Manager and my place will be taken over by Binny Lewis. Having being involved in this project >from around 1999 and leading it >from 2009, it would seem the time is ripe for me to allow someone with new ideas and energy to take on the project. In the meantime, I will still be around to help Binny acclimatize to the tasks involved. I would sincerely like to thank each and every person who has contributed in some way to the continued success of the Yizkor Book Project. I am perpetually in awe of the willingness of people to devote their time and energy to help out in some way to move the various projects along. I am quite sure that Binny will continue to receive the same level of support and dedication which will enable the project to further grow and develop. As a parting "gift", I am pleased to let you know that the complete translation of the Wyzkow, Poland Yizkor book is now online. Our grateful thanks go out to Howard Orenstein who has led this project from its outset and has untiringly followed through with this projectto its ultimate goal. Other than that, I would like to note that a number of new Translation Projects have recently been setup for the books of the following communities: - Augustow, Poland - Skalat, Ukaine - Zinkiv, Ukraine The support we need to see these books translated is, naturally, financial and if you are able to assist in that direction with any amount, please make your donation on our JewishGen-erosity page (link below) to the project you wish to support. Now, before letting you know about the updates and additions, I do wish you and your families a Shavuot Sameach or a Happy Shavuot.
