Shalom,

So what would you like to hear about first in regards the Yizkor Book
Project in November - the good news or the good news?<g>

Well, the first piece of good (excellent) news is that during November the
Yizkor Books in Print Project sold it it's one thousandth book! This is
definitely a remarkable achievement and my warmest congratulations go out to
Joel Alpert and his merry band of volunteers who have made this milestone
possible.
Apart >from the encouraging sales and feedback we continue to receive
regarding this project, new titles are constantly being added and just
today, the Josef Rosin memoir "My Journey to Freedom: Kybartai to Haifa" has
now been made available for purchase. Details of this and the other books
and this project, in general, can be found at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html

Next piece of good news is that the complete translation of the Molchad,
Belarus Yizkor book (Molchadz, In Memory of the Jewish Community) is now
online. This could have never come about but for the never-ending diligence
and determination of Myrna Siegel who has been and continues to be the
guiding light behind this project.

Whilst I could keep going on endlessly about these pieces of good news, I
would just like to note just another two. During this last month we greatly
received a set of two very interesting memoirs presented by Renate Krakauer
and these are now available online in the "Miscellaneous" of our
Translations Index at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html The
other piece of good news was provided by Judy Petersen who has painstakingly
transliterated the most useful family name index for the Pinkas Hungary
(Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Hungary) volume and this, as well, is
now available online.
