Shalom,
The activity during November was characterized by the addition of a large number of new entries. As you'll see by the alphabetically ordered names of the communities, we are rapidly approaching the last communities appearing in the "Pinkas Lita" [Encyclopedia of Jewish communities, Lithuania] book, and this month's list adds to the very long list of communities that this book contains. It is so incomprehensible that the Lithuanian communities appearing in this list were all decimated during the Holocaust and, of course, Lithuania is "only" a part of the whole enormous Jewish tragedy. I see the placing the translations of these communities online as one the major aims of the Yizkor Book Project in its endeavor to ensure that the memories of these communities and the people that lived in them are not forgotten. As far as existing projects go, I am pleased to report that during November, the online translation of three books was completed, and we now have no less than 75 projects online which are the entire translations of the original Yizkor books. As such, I would like to send out my deep appreciation to the coordinators and translators of these completed projects which are: - Lyubcha, Belarus (Lubtch and Delatich; in memory of the Jewish community), which is coordinated and translated by Ann Belinsky and Harvey Spitzer. - Skuodas, Lithuania (Testimony on the murder of the Jews of Shkud, Lithuania), which is coordinated by Rachel Mines and was initiated by Aviva Tirosh. - Svir, Belarus (Our Townlet Swir), which is coordinated by Lee Harrison. I would also like to note the addition of a new Translation Fund added in this month for the Stowbtsy, Belarus Yizkor Book, and am looking forward to seeing this project take shape. Note that a very positive way of helping to see translations placed online is by supporting this project or one of the many Translation Funds which have been set up to bring about the professional translation of the Yizkor books. If you feel able to support this effort, please go to the Yizkor Book JewishGen-erosity page: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 to learn about the Translation Funds currently underway. As always, we are always looking for volunteers to take on various tasks within the Yizkor Book Project so that we can continue and expand on the work done so far. So, if you have some time and would like to help out in our continuously growing project, I would very much like to hear >from you.
