Max had been working in the Yizkor Book Project for the past six years.  His dedication and complete involvement have always been exceptional.

His task is to receive 10-15 sets of translations each month which have been prepared in Word or Excel format and convert them into eye-pleasing, easy readable web pages as part of the hundreds of Yizkor Book projects already online and he takes care of each submission received with expediency and a smile.

16 months ago, he also took on the task of Necrology database which involves periodically updating this database with the thousands of new records that have made added to the in the Yizkor book projects since the last update. He took this on in spite of the fact that besides the Yizkor Book project he is also maintains quite a number of other important Internet projects, is involved in a band, works full time and is a caring family man – not at all clear where he finds the time.  Max, I salute you!
