JewishGen Press (formerly the Yizkor-Books-in-Print Project) is now the publishing division of JewishGen.org, and provides a venue for the publication of books pertaining to Jewish genealogy, history, culture, and heritage.

 

About the JewishGen Yizkor Book Project:

Yizkor Books (Memorial Books) were traditionally written to memorialize the names of departed family and martyrs during holiday services in the synagogue (a practice that still exists in many synagogues today).

Over the centuries, as a result of countless persecutions and horrific atrocities committed against the Jews, Yizkor Books (Sefer Zikaron in Hebrew) were expanded to include more historical information, such as biographical sketches of famous personalities and descriptions of daily town life.

Following the Holocaust, the idea of remembrance and learning took on an urgent and crucial importance. Survivors of the Holocaust sought out other surviving residents of their former towns to memorialize and document the names and way of life of those who were ruthlessly murdered by the Nazis. These remembrances were documented in Yizkor Books, hundreds of which were published in the first decades after the Holocaust.

Most of these books were published privately, or through landsmanshaftn (social organizations comprised of members originating from the same European town or region) that still existed, and were often distributed free of charge. Sadly, the languages used to document these crucial histories and links to our past, Yiddish and Hebrew, are no longer commonly understood by a significant percentage of Jews today. As a result, JewishGen has undertaken the sacred responsibility of translating these books into English so that the culture and way of life of these communities will be preserved and transmitted to future generations.

In 1986, a group of farsighted JewishGenners started a project to pool their efforts together in groups based upon their ancestors from each town and donate money to get the Yizkor books of their ancestral towns translated into English. As the translated material became available, it was made accessible for free at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/. Hardcover copies can be purchased below.

It is our hope that the translation of these books into English (and other languages) will assist the countless Jewish family researchers who are so desperately seeking to forge a connection with their heritage.

Endorsements

The JewishGen Press project is indeed an extremely important project.

Upon finding out that the Ohrei Yizkor Book was published and available, one researcher wrote:
I have been waiting 33 years since I first came across that book in the New York Public Library and was unable to read it because I couldn't understand Yiddish. Thanks. Will purchase it.
* * *
In a world in which fewer and fewer people speak and read Yiddish, and where many Jews outside of Israel do not read Hebrew fluently, the translation of these Yizkor books into English is a very important project. These books were frequently the first publications about a given community or a number of contiguous communities, and if for no other reason than that, they are of great significance. Although most are not works of traditional scholarship, they do contain extremely valuable information about the history of Jewish communities and their destruction, recollections and vignettes about daily life and the people who lived in those communities, and frequently lists of those who were murdered during the Shoah. Making them accessible to a wider public is important today and undoubtedly will remain important in the future. I am very pleased that the JewishGen Press Project of JewishGen has donated these books to our library collection and I am quite certain that our readers will find them to be of much use. For our part we hope to preserve them for future generations.

I have the original book in Yiddish and Hebrew but always wanted a copy of the English translation, which I haven't been able to find until now so thank you! I've ordered the book and have notified the rest of my family in the States about it.

JewishGen's Yizkor Book translations are an invaluable resource for readers who cannot read the original languages, and a welcome supplement to the Yiddish Book Center's facsimile reprints of Yizkor Books from the New York Public Library's collection. Yasher koyekh!

The Ciechanow Yizkor book is so precious to our family. My mother, Leah “Lonia” Kirshenbaum Mosak is a Ciechanower who survived Auschwitz Birkenau; she is now 91 years old. She will not let go of the book and reads from it every day.

Although the Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus has just about every memorial book in the original language, we are very pleased to be able to add the English translations being offered by Jewishgen.  Our English-only speaking Library users are thrilled to be able to read about their families' hometowns and possibly trace their relatives without the help of a translator.  We have every Yizkor Book in Print Project title published so far and look forward to adding more as they become available.  They are of the highest quality and enhance our collection immeasurably.  Thank you, Jewishgen!

As someone who has lost ancestors and family in the Holocaust, I can truly say that the Turka Yizkor book will allow my siblings and me to make the connection and pass it on to our children so we can preserve their memory.

This review is from: Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Horodenka, Ukraine - Translation of Sefer Horodenka (Hardcover) This history of my family's home 'shtetl' contains information that was never discussed by my grandparents living here in the United States. I highly recommend this Yizkor book to everyone who has searched for information on Horodenka--and I know there are several perhaps cousins? engaged in the hunt on the Jewish Genealogy website. I'm so happy to see the translation from the original Yiddish (and German) that makes this important and valuable information accessible to everyone. Thanks for the hard work and care that went into making this Yizkor Book of Horodenka possible.

Although I have already had a digital glimpse inside this book, I am again very surprised at how vividly the reading material is presented!  The large, easy-to-read font, outlines and paragraphs lighten up such sad and harrowing reading material; you don't want to put the book down. I would never have thought what a big difference it makes to have something you've only read digitally now in book form in your hand. By the way, the book feels good and I like the high quality paper.

Misc. Information

How we print the books:

The project uses the “Print on Demand” model, which utilizes the latest technology for being able to print even single books on demand and ship to individual buyers, without requiring runs of hundreds of books. Hence here is no minimum requirement of number of books to be ordered, nor is there a storage problem, nor an unsold books problem. It is ideal for our situation with a limited specalized audience. Book interiors are in black and white, whereas the covers are in color and often are replicas of the covers of the original Hebrew and Yiddish Yizkor Books or contain some artwork from the books or displays a significant historic photo.

 

Message to Coordinators of Yizkor Books for Prospective Printing:

We print only fully translated books for which we have permission from the copyright holder of the original Yiddish or Hebrew book to print the translation. If you are interested in getting your book in the queue for processing to be printed and published, first you must make sure that the Yizkor Book Project either already has that permission to publish or that you can get it - for clarifications on these issues, please contact Lance Ackerfeld . Desirable, but not necessary are higher resolution scans (300 dpi or preferably 600 dpi) of the images from the book than were used for the on-line version (72 dpi). When you have satisfied these requirements, then please contact Joel Alpert, Project Coordinator.

 

Looking for Volunteers:

In order to accomplish this task, we are looking for talented people who are willing to volunteer to make this effort happen. Below we list the people and talents we are looking for. We want to create a team of several people with each of the talents. We would assign one of each of the volunteer categories below to a book, with the exception of the Document Coordinator, Cover Editor and Publicity Specialist - one or two each for the whole project. We list the tasks with the highest needs at the top. If you can help, we'd appreciate your efforts in the task.

 

Book Coordinators:

Most likely the project coordinator of the Yizkor book website for that community. If necessary, obtain permissions necessary to publish the book from the organization or person holding the copyright on the original Hebrew/Yiddish Yizkor book. Create a new Preface and Acknowledgements, Credits etc. appropriate to the publishing of the book in English.

 

Image Processors:

We need volunteers who can process the PDF files (600 dpi resolution) to extract the images of the photos and maps and illustrations to create individual JPEG files so that they can then be inserted into the text of the books in the proper place. Volunteers will need to have the Photoshop or similar software to accomplish the task. This will enable us to produce high quality images for the books.

 

Layout Editors:

Take files from the Yizkor Book website and copy into MS WORD files for each book chapter. Not necessary to proof read the material. We are printing the books as they appear on the Yizkor Books Project pages. Format the files according to a template supplied changing headings, image captions, etc into a standard format. Imbed the images from the Image Coordinator in the proper place in the text. Edit the material so that the layout has images in a place near the reference to the image. Re-editing and proof reading of material not expected.

 

Cover Editors for the whole project:

Create the cover using Photo Shop of some other software likely using a scan of the original Yizkor Book cover and modifying it by inserting English, laying it out on a provided template; or possibly creating a totally new cover. One or several people to do this for the whole project.

 

Publicity Specialist for the whole project:

Deal with publicity for books. Send out announcements to all researchers signed up for each community covered in the book to be published. Develop list of libraries, university libraries with Judaic collections, Holocaust Memorials, temple libraries, etc. that would likely be interested in purchasing copies of the “JewishGen Press.” Send off periodic announcements to these institutions about new Yizkor books now available. One person or several people to do this for the whole project.

If you feel that you are able to take on one of these tasks, please contact the “JewishGen Press” Coordinator – Joel Alpert
