JewishGen offers New Class: Jewish Genealogy in East Prussia and the
Baltic States August 3 - August 26.

For the first time, JewishGen is offering a research class with focus
on Jewish Genealogical research in East Prussia and the Baltic States.

This course will focus on the modern countries of Lithuania (Kaunas),
Latvia, Estonia and the western part of East Prussia that borders the
Baltic Sea.

This region was once inhabited by the Baltic Prussians and Jews where
German language and culture dominated. Regional wars, famine, trade and
treaties influenced Jews who were permitted to live there. The ports and
the rivers that ran into the Baltic determined Jewish life.

If your ancestral roots were in East Prussia, Northern Poland, Western
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia this class may help you break stumbling
blocks in your research. We will work at records still in existence for
these areas. Where records are sparse we will concentrate on finding
alternate sources.

JewishGen education classes are private, open for your posts 24/7.
You post your family information and the instructor will help you set
objectives to find the solutions for finding missing data.

Tuition for this class is $125. for three weeks of instruction.

If you are interested in this class, we encourage you to send the
instructor a brief summary of your research information and your
questions to see if your research project fits within the scope of
this class. More information

Shalom,

Last month, the Yizkor Book Project, saw important additions to many
of our ongoing projects, some of which have been on a "low flame" for
quite some time. For myself, this is a very encouraging sign and am
hopeful that this trend will continue in months to come.

In what has become a regular part of my monthly reports, I am pleased,
once again, to let you know that a further Yizkor Book has been
completely translated. The book this time, is the Tovste, Ukraine book
- the "Memorial book of Tluste" which has been deftly coordinated by
Douglas Hykle and who, with the assistance a number of skilled
volunteer and professional translators, succeeded in achieving this
lofty goal. Many thanks to Doug and all those involved in this effort.

The timely completion of this translation comes just before the IAJGS
conference in Warsaw and I do wish all the participants a very
memorable, and enlightening time there. As always, we have a Yizkor
Book Birds of a Feather meeting which will be lead this year by Max
Heffler who has been very active in our project for numerous years. I
join with Max in inviting you to this meeting where you can learn more
about what we're doing and meet those already active in the YB
project.

Another very timely addition to the Yizkor Book Project, to be exact
to the Yizkor Books in Print Project, is the publishing of the "We
Remember Lest the World Forget" book, containing unique and moving
personal testimonies of Minsk Ghetto survivors. Thanks, as always, to
Joel Alpert and his dedicated and amazing team of volunteers for all
the work they do in this project. Joel has also informed me that the
translation into English of the Brody, Ukraine Yizkor book will be
made available to the public in the very near future, which is also
great news. For details of the 70 odd books that are already
available, please see the link to this project at the end of this
report.

The Yizkor Book Project is only able to achieve what it does through
the tireless assistance of a great number of volunteers who have a
special place in their hearts, like myself, for this endeavor.
Although we have many volunteers, we are still "greedy" for more to
help advance the myriad of projects we have running. For instance, we
are always on the lookout for editing help, especially people with
knowledge of Hebrew and/or Yiddish.

We are also currently looking for a volunteer who can transcribe
Cyrillic into English so that we can make a list of martyrs from
Vitebsk, Belarus available in the YB project. If the above fields of
expertise suit you to a tee and you are able to dedicate some time to
our project, I would be pleased to hear >from you.

As one of the aims of the Yizkor Book Project is to make the material
they contain freely available to a wide as possible audience, I was
pleased to receive the complete translation into Polish of the Sierpc,
Poland Yizkor Book which was kindly presented to us by Avraham Nanes.
This translation, together with the many others we have online in
languages other than English, is linked in the "Other Languages"
section in our Translations Index page - the link to which, is
provided at the end of this report.

And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried
out in the Yizkor Book Project in July.
