Shalom,

I hope you are sitting down when you read this, because it is rather long
being that there were a number of projects updated during October to the
Yizkor Book Project. I am particularly pleased note that this month saw the
completion of the Debica, Poland Project which has been slowly progressing
over quite a few years - kudos to all involved.

I often receive queries >from people asking why a particular Yizkor Book they
are interested in doesn't appear in our list or is only partially
translated. My reply to this is that the translation of the books is
coordinated by volunteers who take care of finding translators and/or
raising funds for a particular book and to plagiarize a JFK quote: "Don't
ask what the Yizkor Book Project can do for me, rather what can I do for the
Yizkor Book Project"! So if a particular Yizkor Book is important to you,
please contact me because I'm here to help you get a translation project for
it moving and can lead you step by step through the process.

And on volunteers, I feel that I don't get a real chance to thank all of
volunteers who give of their free time to advance the Yizkor Book Project
and so, each month, I will mention a few of the people who help so much. If
you are a volunteer and aren't mentioned this time, I will certainly note
you sometime in the a future report.

Barbara Beaton, Shaul Berger, Ann Harris, Matt Friedman, Alexander
Grodensky, Gilberto Jugend, Yocheved Klausner, Shmuel Laufer, Gladys Paulin,
Thia Persoff, Lorraine Rosengarten, Noam Silberberg, Al Silberman, Vivian
Singer, Esther Snyder, David Sosnovitch, Moshe Steinberg & Kathryn Wallach
- who are the team behind the many necrologies that have been added over the
last year or so. The work is certainly difficult emotionally and requires
skill and patience and I would like to thank these people for helping us in
maintaining the memories of our loved ones and, at the same time, to
presenting us invaluable information on these same people.
