Translator's footnotes

1. Hebrew text says 14 Zangvill St., English text says 24 Zangvill St.
2. This book contains a Yiddish section and a Hebrew section. The Hebrew section is a direct translation of the Yiddish section, with the exception that there is a common bibliography and name list at the end. I include the table of contents twice so that those using this as a guide to the Yizkor book can follow the page numbers in the language of choice. The two tables of contents vary slightly: in particular, the entries of page 95, 134, 138, and 144 only appears in the Yiddish; and some entries toward the end are in different order.
3. Presumably a street name.
4. The introduction indicates that Shlomo Blond was born in 1897. He would in all probability be no longer alive (if he was he would be over 100 years old), and the address indicated is most likely no longer valid.
