Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach.

#ukraine
Judi Wagner
We are spearheading the translation project for the city of Khotin, Ukraine, the home of our grandfather, Charles (Kalman) WEINSTEIN.
Please consider donating to this project to bring the words of the Khotin community to our children and grandchildren. This book was originally written in Yiddish and Hebrew, is over 300 pages, and will be translated into English. A page has been set up on JewishGen in the Yizkor Book Translation section for Khotin. On the website main page, the donate button is in the upper right, and also on the right is the Active JewishGen Projects, the last one on the list is Yizkor Book Translations, and scroll down until you find Khotin. Khotin is a city in Chernivtsi Oblast of western Ukraine. It is south-west of Kamianets-Podilskyi. Khotin, is first chronicled in 1001, and is located on the right (southwestern) bank of the Dniester River, and is part of the historical region of Bessarabia.

Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach. And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during February: We have added in 8 new entries: - Kamelishki, Belarus (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Svencionys/sve1449.html - Lagow, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol7_00267a.html - Leipalingis, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_140.html - Mykolayivka-Novorosiyska, Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/akk357.html - Shabo, Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/akk367.html - Siluva, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_313.html - Vidukle, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_389.html - Zaskiewicz, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VIII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00350.html And we have continued to update 25 of our existing projects: - Chelm, Poland (Commemoration book Chelm) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/chelm/chelm.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Kalush, Ukraine (Kalusz; The life and Destruction of the Community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kalusz/kalusz.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Kolki, Ukraine (Summoned >from the Ashes) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolki/kolki.html - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kremenets, Vyshgorodok, and Pochayiv) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets3/kremenets3.html - Lipcani, Moldova (Lipcan of old) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Lipkany2/lipkany2.html - Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lithuania6.html - Miskolc, Hungary (The martyrs of Miskolc and vicinity) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miskolc/Miskolc.html - Nyasvizh, Belarus (The Nesvizh Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nesvizh/nesvizh.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Ozeryany, Ukraine (Memorial book, Jezierzany and surroundings) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ozeryany/ozeryany.html - Przemysl, Poland (Przemysl memorial book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/przemysl/przemysl.html - Raciaz, Poland (Memorial book of the community of Racionz) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Raciaz/Raciaz.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Radekhov, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Radikhov) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Radekhov/Radekhov.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - The Jacob Rassen www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JacobRassen/JacobRassen.html - Turobin, Poland (The Turobin book; in memory of the Jewish community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Turobin/Turobin.html - Telsiai, Lithuania (Telsiai Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Telsiai/telsiai.html - Voranava, Belarus (Voronovo: Memorial Book to the Martyrs of Voronovo) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/voronovo/voronovo.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach.

Judi Wagner
We are spearheading the translation project for the city of Khotin, Ukraine, the home of our

This book was originally written in Yiddish and Hebrew, is over 300 pages, and will be translated into English. A page has been set up on JewishGen in the Yizkor Book Translation section for Khotin. On the website main page, the donate button is in the upper right, and also on the right is the Active JewishGen Projects, the last one on the list is Yizkor Book Translations, and scroll down until you find Khotin. Khotin is a city in Chernivtsi Oblast of western Ukraine. It is south-west of Kamianets-Podilskyi. Khotin, is first chronicled in 1001, and is located on the right (southwestern) bank of the Dniester River, and is part of the historical region of Bessarabia. An important architectural landmark within the city is the Khotin Fortress, constructed in he 13-15th centuries. During some of it's history, the city was part of the principality of Moldavia. Jewish merchants traveling >from Constantinople to Lvov in the 15th and 16th centuries used to pass through Khotin, then an important customs station on the Polish-Moldavian border on the commercial route between Turkey and Poland.

Yizkor Books #YizkorBooks Yizkor Book Project, February 2019
#yizkorbooks
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books.

Yizkor Book Project, February 2019
#yizkorbooks
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
There seems to be some unwritten law that despite its shortness, February always seems to be one of the busiest times in the Yizkor Book Project and this last one, didn't disappoint. To begin with, I am more than very pleased to let you know that we have just completely translated and placed online, another Yizkor book. This time it is the "Czyzewo Memorial Book" covering the Czyzew-Osada, Poland community and considering that it entails 1190 columns of text (around 585 pages), this is definitely no mean feat. Our grateful thanks go out Jennifer Mohr who, >from the outset, has coordinated the translation of this book with great energy and dedication. Although the book is now completely translated, Jen is now arranging for an index to be prepared for the book which is always an invaluable additional tool that researchers can be good use of. Continuing on with the good news, I am pleased to let you know that the 80th book published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project has recently hit the shelves. The book, "The Jews of Kishinev" covering the lost Jewish community of Chisinau, Moldova has become a reality through the enthusiastic coordination of Yefim Kogan and the wonderful translations of volunteer, Sheli Fain, and of course, the YBIP team led by Joel Alpert. Our grateful thanks goes out to all those involved in the translation and publication of this book and for those interested in learning more about the other 79 books that have been published, please see the link to the YBIP project at the end of this report. Other good news. The New York Public Library has done wonders over the years to allow us ready online access to an enormous number of Yizkor books. It has now gone an extra step further and provided the public with a very useful guide for viewing the online books and also has provided useful links to other online sites, including our very own Yizkor Book Project. In my humble opinion, a worthwhile site to bookmark: https://libguides.nypl.org/yizkorbooks As Purim is just around the corner, I would like to wish you dear readers and your families, a very enjoyable time over this upbeat holiday and wish you a Happy Purim and/or a Purim Sameach.
