Wierzbnik Necrology

Translated by Jerrold Landau

Translator's notes:

  1. The necrology section of the Wierzbnik book has no page numbers in the original. Therefore, I have numbered these pages based on the Image number from the scans of the New York Public Library (https://yizkor.nypl.org).
  2. At the top of each memorial page, there is a verse fragment from Lamentations 1:16. “My eyes, my eyes, they drop water,” and “For these do I weep.” These fragments alternate every two pages, starting from from scan 435.
  3. The numerous photos are generally uncaptioned. In most cases, I was able to surmise the identity from the content of the memorial dedication.
  4. Spelling of names is always an open question. I used Hebraized forms of first names. I generally used Polish forms of surnames for the victims, and Anglicized forms for the perpetuators.

 

Yizkor

 

In eternal memory on Mount Zion in Jerusalem
In memory of the pure and holy souls
Elderly and youths, children and women
Of the community of Wierzbnik-Starachowitz and the region
Who were hauled to the furnaces of Treblinka
On 16 Marcheshvan, 5703 (October 27, 1942)
And who were murdered by the impure Nazis and their helpers
In any place during the Holocaust
May G-d avenge their blood, and may their souls be bound in the bonds of eternal life.

Yizkor

by Yaakov Katz

Remember everyone who was buried, in quiet secrecy.
Without a grave to visit, without a monument to remember them, we cannot find comfort.
Remember… The people in the pits of corpses, when their souls ascended to the heavens.
We swore then to remember their names, to never forget them until the end of the world.
Hear Oh Israel; You have been adjured by the mouth that was strangled, and whose sprit died,
Oh G-d, oh G-d, why have you abandoned us, without You I have nobody to bequeath.
Please remember all the souls that have been listed by our hands
Those pure souls that dwell in Your house.
The souls of the holy and pure House of Israel
Who light up the Garden of Eden with the flame of their souls.
O, souls in the Garden of Eden, please listen, the sons of the nation of the Torah will never cease
They were murdered, strangled, and burned in the lands of murder, but their flame was not extinguished.
The burnt parchment will not be erased, and the eternal writing stands opposite truth,
The broken, shattered tables please remember, there is a continuation for the nation, and it exists.
The survivors of the furnaces, brands plucked from the fires, we weep with floods of tears,
To bring forth the hidden light and light up the vale of darkness.
We will cleave to the traditions of our mothers and fathers with greater strength,
To ensure the renewal of our days as of old, and the coming of our redeemer and redemption.
