Keep an Eye Out for our Weekly Post to the JewishGen FB Page! At the end of each week, we have been featuring excerpts from Yizkor books in JewishGen's archive. Acknowledgments We would like to show recognition to the incredible work of two wonderful people: Karen Leon Volunteer Manager at JewishGen.org Karen has played an integral role with the JewishGen team by reaching out to current volunteers and making sure their needs are met as projects are carried out. She has been especially helpful to the Yizkor Book team in assisting our efforts to organize our internal data as well as in reaching out to over 100 members of the Yizkor Book Team. Thank you for all your help! We look forward to continued success working with you! Nancy Siegel Communications Coordinator at JewishGen.org As the head of communications with JewishGen, Nancy has worked tirelessly to prepare newsletters, Facebook posts, announcements and more. She was able to step in to assist the Yizkor Book Project, to help us get the monthly newsletter off the ground. She has helped us communicate transparently with the incredible YB Team and to convey accurately all the wonderful work that we are doing for the growing Yizkor Book community. Thank you for your help and we hope to continue working with you in the near future! We are expanding the Yizkor Book Team!! We are working on many upcoming projects. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering for the Yizkor Book Project, please see the information below: Perhaps your skills can be of assistance?

Hello Mr Siegel,
The book will be published free of charge. The price for the book covers the cost of publication and any future projects or upgrades to the YBIP project (Yizkor Book In-Print). We are starting work as we speak. It can take generally 3-6 months to publish a book, but each book has its own details and the timing may vary. Keep an eye out for future Yizkor Book updates to see when it is published. All the best Mr Binny Lewis
