Yizkor Book Report for May 2021 #yizkorbooks #JewishGenUpdates
lackerfeld@...
Shalom,
Quite often I am contacted by people looking for information on the ancestral community of their parents. In quite a few cases, I am able to point them in the direction of a translated Yizkor book of the very community they are looking for which assists them in learning more about the community and, on occasion, even about their own family.
Of course, we are not fortunate enough to have all of the Yizkor books translated but this is certainly our goal. The information is waiting in these books, hidden behind the Yiddish and Hebrew, till we are able to translate it into English and other languages and enable a much wider audience access to its contents.
And now for details of what was carried out in May:
