A brief note about this translation of pages from the Yizkor book for Radomysl Wielki:

The 50 or so pages of English from this Yizkor book were originally prepared by those who put out the book itself, which was in Hebrew, and were part of the published work. In presenting it here, there are some things that were left as they were because they reflected some phonetic spelling. There were also some made-up words that were wonderful and should be left alone. The meaning is perfectly clear in "despicable" or "punitory". On the first line Orea was changed to Area because it made no sense but generally everything else works. The grammar reflects that the writer is using constructions from his or her first language but again it works, it's understandable and not offensive and doesn't happen that often. Though the addresses of persons listed at the end of the book are probably no longer valid, and some of these people are likely to be no longer living, it was felt that perhaps these addresses would give a starting point for someone still searching for lost members of their families, and perhaps lead in some way to finding descendants.

Olga Parker and Phyllis Goldberg



Note from Joyce Field :

I want to take this opportunity to thank Phyllis Goldberg for scanning and proofreading this material. Phyllis has no relatives from this town and no connection to it at all; however, when I asked her if she could help by scanning the long English section from this Yizkor book, she readily agreed, despite personal health and family problems. Phyllis has been a remarkable volunteer to the Yizkor Book Project who has never refused to help when asked. Her commitment to JewishGen and to the Yizkor Book Project is much appreciated, beyond what I can express in words. I wish her and her family good health and long years of happiness and fulfillment.

There is a further irony about this submission, as Olga Parker has no connection to Radomsyl Wielki either. She is interested in Radomsyl, Ukraine, and mistakenly got the material from the Radomsyl Wielki. Wanting the material to be used on the Yizkor Book Project if possible, she contacted me. As Olga could not scan the English section, I asked Phyllis Goldberg, who has become an accomplished scanner. Combining their efforts, sharing ideas on how to present the material and sharing the proofreading, the English section of this Yizkor book is now online. Thank you, Olga, for your unselfish contribution.
