Dear JewishGenners,
The Yizkor Book Project is on the move again. We had too much great news to wait until the end of the month. Despite a mind-boggling backlog, we have miraculously managed to put six (6) new files on our web site at < http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html> since the beginning of this month. There are now 38 files on our site. Considering that the first document appeared about a year ago, we have made tremendous strides in one year. Please check out these wonderful additions: 1) Babruysk, Belarus, presented by Don Mopsick and the Bobruisk SIG: translation of the Historical Monograph and other chapters 2) Gorodenka, Ukraine: 2 entries are included: the table of contents and necrology, donated by Mark Heckman and Norman Berman, and a List of Victims >from documents of the Russian Commission, transliterated by Alexander Dunai. 3) Kybartai, Lithuania: The Book of Remembrance of the Jewish Community of Kybart, a special translation into English by the author of the book, Joseph Rosin, for the Internet edition. 4) Obertin, Ukraine: List of Victims >from documents of the Russian Commission, transliterated by Alexander Dunai. 5) Siemiatycze, Poland: The Scroll of My Life, written in Yiddish and translated, edited, and contributed by Leonard Prager, editor of Mendele.
