Yizkor Book Project, March 2018
#general
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
It wouldn't surprise me to find you munching on matzot while reading this month's Yizkor Book report. If you are or are not, I do hope this finds you having a very enjoyable Passover/Pesach holiday. And on Pesach, I hope that this report will be somewhat shorter than the "Hagadah", although there is quite a lot to report. However, just like in the seder, you are allowed a meal break in the middle of reading this, if you need... To begin with, we have added in the complete translation of yet another Yizkor book. This time it is the Zakroczym, Poland book which was ably coordinated by Mitchell Eisenberg. The whole translation is indeed now online, however, we still require some financial assistance in meeting the costs of this translation. If you are able to assist in this matter, please look for the Zakroczym listing in the Translations Funds link at the end of this report. And on Translations Funds, I'm pleased to report that over the past month, two such additional funds were set up. One for the Dynow, Poland Yizkor book and another for the Jezierzany (Ozeryany) Yizkor book. We are endeavoring to advance the translations of these books and have set up these funds in an effort to achieve this goal. Once again, if you are able to financially assist in any way to these projects or any other for that matter, listed amongst our 80 odd funds, please go to the link at the end of the report. This month, we gratefully received a number of entries >from the "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II" and , in the near future, all of this book will be online. For those who are interested, this book is also available in print and purchase details can be found via the Yizkor Books in Print Project link at the end of this report. A further addition last month to the Yizkor Book projects was a free download link kindly provided by Meir G, Gover to his book "Thessaloniki Lost Jewish Cemetery". The book contains a 1,230 surname necrology which provide basis for most all modern day Sephardic surnames. The necrology in the last part of the book is also a skeleton surname list for the 50,000 Thessaloniki Shoah victims. You will find the link to this book in our Translations Index under Thessalonaki, Greece. I often note that the bulk of the activities that are carried out in the Yizkor Book site are carried out by a myriad of volunteers. As some token of appreciation, we try to note their significant contribution by listing them in our ever-growing list of volunteers on the main Yizkor Book Project page: https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ I was recently and rightly prompted that the list hadn't been updated for a while and, as such, I have now added some more volunteers to the over 600 names already appearing there. If I've missed adding any volunteer who has worked on our project, please let me know and I will right the wrong. One volunteer who did assist us greatly in the Yizkor Book Project was Toby Bird z"l and, I was recently informed that sadly, she had passed away. Her tireless, ever readiness to assist will not be forgotten and her memory blessed. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in March. We have added in 9 new entries: - Antaliepte, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_010.html - Alsedziai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_001.html - Balbieriskis, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_020.html - Darbenai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_032.html - Gruzdzia, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_044.html - Inhulets, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/jew341.html - Kavarskas, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_lita/lit_00556l.html [Lithuanian] - Kavarskas, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_078.html - Raguva, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lit5_142.html And we have continued to update 22 of our existing projects: - Balti, Moldova (Balti Bessarabia: a memorial of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Balti/Balti.html - Borsa, Romania (Memorial book of Borsha, or: The beloved village by the foot of the Carpathians) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/borsa/borsa.html - Capresti, Moldova (Kapresht, our village; memorial book for the Jewish community of Kapresht, Bessarabia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Capresti/Capresti.html - Children Train http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Children_Train/Children_Train.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jonava/Jonava.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Krasnobrod, Poland (Krasnobrod; a Memorial to the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Krasnobrod/Krasnobrod.html - Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania5/lithuania5.html - Miechow, Charsznica & Ksiaz, Poland (Miechov Memorial Book, Charsznica and Ksiaz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miechow/Miechow.html - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrowiec; a monument on the ruins of an annihilated Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec/ostrowiec.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Rivne, Ukraine (Rowno; a memorial to the Jewish community of Rowno, Wolyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/rovno/rovno.html - Slutsk, Belarus (Slutsk and vicinity memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Slutsk/Slutsk.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Tarnow, Poland (The life and decline of a Jewish city) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tarnow/tarnow.html - The Jacob Rassen Story http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JacobRassen/JacobRassen.html - We want to live http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/WantToLive/WantToLive.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.html - Zakroczym, Poland (My Zakroczym) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zakroczym/Zakroczym.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://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 http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

As some token of appreciation, we try to note their significant contribution by listing them in our ever-growing list of volunteers on the main Yizkor Book Project page: https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ I was recently and rightly prompted that the list hadn't been updated for a while and, as such, I have now added some more volunteers to the over 600 names already appearing there. If I've missed adding any volunteer who has worked on our project, please let me know and I will right the wrong. One volunteer who did assist us greatly in the Yizkor Book Project was Toby Bird z"l and, I was recently informed that sadly, she had passed away. Her tireless, ever readiness to assist will not be forgotten and her memory blessed. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in March.

Shalom,
It wouldn't surprise me to find you munching on matzot while reading this month's Yizkor Book report. If you are or are not, I do hope this finds you having a very enjoyable Passover/Pesach holiday. And on Pesach, I hope that this report will be somewhat shorter than the "Hagadah", although there is quite a lot to report. However, just like in the seder, you are allowed a meal break in the middle of reading this, if you need... To begin with, we have added in the complete translation of yet another Yizkor book. This time it is the Zakroczym, Poland book which was ably coordinated by Mitchell Eisenberg. The whole translation is indeed now online, however, we still require some financial assistance in meeting the costs of this translation. If you are able to assist in this matter, please look for the Zakroczym listing in the Translations Funds link at the end of this report. And on Translations Funds, I'm pleased to report that over the past month, two such additional funds were set up. One for the Dynow, Poland Yizkor book and another for the Jezierzany (Ozeryany) Yizkor book. We are endeavoring to advance the translations of these books and have set up these funds in an effort to achieve this goal. Once again, if you are able to financially assist in any way to these projects or any other for that matter, listed amongst our 80 odd funds, please go to the link at the end of the report. This month, we gratefully received a number of entries >from the "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II" and , in the near future, all of this book will be online. For those who are interested, this book is also available in print and purchase details can be found via the Yizkor Books in Print Project link at the end of this report. A further addition last month to the Yizkor Book projects was a free download link kindly provided by Meir G, Gover to his book "Thessaloniki Lost Jewish Cemetery". The book contains a 1,230 surname necrology which provide basis for most all modern day Sephardic surnames. The necrology in the last part of the book is also a skeleton surname list for the 50,000 Thessaloniki Shoah victims. You will find the link to this book in our Translations Index under Thessalonaki, Greece. I often note that the bulk of the activities that are carried out in the Yizkor Book site are carried out by a myriad of volunteers. As some token of appreciation, we try to note their significant contribution by listing them in our ever-growing list of volunteers on the main Yizkor Book Project page: https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ I was recently and rightly prompted that the list hadn't been updated for a while and, as such, I have now added some more volunteers to the over 600 names already appearing there.

Yizkor Book Project, March 2018

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
It wouldn't surprise me to find you munching on matzot while reading this month's Yizkor Book report. If you are or are not, I do hope this finds you having a very enjoyable Passover/Pesach holiday. And on Pesach, I hope that this report will be somewhat shorter than the "Hagadah", although there is quite a lot to report. However, just like in the seder, you are allowed a meal break in the middle of reading this, if you need... To begin with, we have added in the complete translation of yet another Yizkor book. This time it is the Zakroczym, Poland book which was ably coordinated by Mitchell Eisenberg. The whole translation is indeed now online, however, we still require some financial assistance in meeting the costs of this translation. If you are able to assist in this matter, please look for the Zakroczym listing in the Translations Funds link at the end of this report. And on Translations Funds, I'm pleased to report that over the past month, two such additional funds were set up. One for the Dynow, Poland Yizkor book and another for the Jezierzany (Ozeryany) Yizkor book. We are endeavoring to advance the translations of these books and have set up these funds in an effort to achieve this goal. Once again, if you are able to financially assist in any way to these projects or any other for that matter, listed amongst our 80 odd funds, please go to the link at the end of the report. This month, we gratefully received a number of entries >from the "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II" and , in the near future, all of this book will be online. For those who are interested, this book is also available in print and purchase details can be found via the Yizkor Books in Print Project link at the end of this report. A further addition last month to the Yizkor Book projects was a free download link kindly provided by Meir G, Gover to his book "Thessaloniki Lost Jewish Cemetery". The book contains a 1,230 surname necrology which provide basis for most all modern day Sephardic surnames. The necrology in the last part of the book is also a skeleton surname list for the 50,000 Thessaloniki Shoah victims. You will find the link to this book in our Translations Index under Thessalonaki, Greece. I often note that the bulk of the activities that are carried out in the Yizkor Book site are carried out by a myriad of volunteers. As some token of appreciation, we try to note their significant contribution by listing them in our ever-growing list of volunteers on the main Yizkor Book Project page: https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ I was recently and rightly prompted that the list hadn't been updated for a while and, as such, I have now added some more volunteers to the over 600 names already appearing there.

It wouldn't surprise me to find you munching on matzot while reading this month's Yizkor Book report. If you are or are not, I do hope this finds you having a very enjoyable Passover/Pesach holiday. And on Pesach, I hope that this report will be somewhat shorter than the "Hagadah", although there is quite a lot to report. However, just like in the seder, you are allowed a meal break in the middle of reading this, if you need... To begin with, we have added in the complete translation of yet another Yizkor book. This time it is the Zakroczym, Poland book which was ably coordinated by Mitchell Eisenberg. The whole translation is indeed now online, however, we still require some financial assistance in meeting the costs of this translation. If you are able to assist in this matter, please look for the Zakroczym listing in the Translations Funds link at the end of this report. And on Translations Funds, I'm pleased to report that over the past month, two such additional funds were set up. One for the Dynow, Poland Yizkor book and another for the Jezierzany (Ozeryany) Yizkor book. We are endeavoring to advance the translations of these books and have set up these funds in an effort to achieve this goal. Once again, if you are able to financially assist in any way to these projects or any other for that matter, listed amongst our 80 odd funds, please go to the link at the end of the report. This month, we gratefully received a number of entries >from the "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume II" and , in the near future, all of this book will be online. For those who are interested, this book is also available in print and purchase details can be found via the Yizkor Books in Print Project link at the end of this report. A further addition last month to the Yizkor Book projects was a free download link kindly provided by Meir G, Gover to his book "Thessaloniki Lost Jewish Cemetery". The book contains a 1,230 surname necrology which provide basis for most all modern day Sephardic surnames. The necrology in the last part of the book is also a skeleton surname list for the 50,000 Thessaloniki Shoah victims. You will find the link to this book in our Translations Index under Thessalonaki, Greece. I often note that the bulk of the activities that are carried out in the Yizkor Book site are carried out by a myriad of volunteers. As some token of appreciation, we try to note their significant contribution by listing them in our ever-growing list of volunteers on the main Yizkor Book Project page: https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ I was recently and rightly prompted that the list hadn't been updated for a while and, as such, I have now added some more volunteers to the over 600 names already appearing there. If I've missed adding any volunteer who has worked on our project, please let me know and I will right the wrong. One volunteer who did assist us greatly in the Yizkor Book Project was Toby Bird z"l and, I was recently informed that sadly, she had passed away. Her tireless, ever readiness to assist will not be forgotten and her memory blessed. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in March.
