How I got a copy of the Yizkor book of Gombin
The Yiddish part, translated to Hebrew by my late father, Meir Holtzman, who was born in Gombin 1914 and left the shtetl on July 1939. He died 16 September 1998, before seeing his work, for which he dedicated the last months of his life, completed and published in Hebrew. He was very hopeful that the Yizkor book will be published in Hebrew so that descendants from Gombin will learn about the heritage of their ancestors, their life in the shtetl, their dreams and their tragedy... He worked very hard to achieve this, but his sudden illness followed by his death, kept him from seeing this project fulfilled. This web page is dedicated to his memory.
Translation from Hebrew to English by Ada Holtzman - Israel.
Dr. Ida Cohen Selavan Schwarcz - Israel translated from Yiddish the monograph of Jacob Rothbart: "Yiddishe Baalei Mlachot in Gombin".
