Shalom,

Here I am again letting you know a little of what has gone on in the Yizkor
Book Project over the past month. As always, new books and entries have been
added in and existing projects stride forward with many additional
translations accumulated during the past month.

To begin with, during August two projects were completed online:

Krosno, Poland (Krosno by the Wislok River) and for that we would like to
thank Bill Liebner for his donation of this compilation and to Jane W.
Aronson & Toby Bird for their careful editing of this project.
Strzyzow, Poland (The book of Strzyzow and vicinity) and this came out
thanks to the massive typing up of the book carried out by Genia Hollander &
Helen Rosenstein Wolf which allowed us to place the book online.

At the same time, the Yizkor Book in Print (YBIP) Project continues to
regularly bring out new books and this past month, the book " Pure Soldiers
or Sinister Legion" by Sol Littman has been added to the ever growing list
of published books. For more details of this book and the YBIP Project,
please see the link noted at the end of this message.

As you know, the bulk of the work within the Yizkor Book Project is carried
out by volunteers - translating, editing, typing, indexing, htmling,
scanning and more. The success of our project is definitely to their credit
and I do endeavor to note all of those who take in the Yizkor Book Project
in the volunteer list appearing at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ - just
one way of making sure that their contribution and our heartfelt
appreciation of their work is made known to the wider public. The list is
impressive with nearly 600 names, this does emphasize how many people do
make up the YB Project.

Before outlining the details of what was carried out during August, I would
like to take this opportunity wish all of you and your families a Shana Tova
with a hope that the new year will bring happier and more optimistic times
for ourselves and for humanity as a whole.
