Yizkor

We brought here the details of about 2500 men, women and children, residents of our town. In most cases the person's full name, where they lived in the town, and even family relations were noted. In many cases we give only the family relation because, even though the editors and the rest of the survivors of Kartuz-Bereze made a collective effort, we weren't able to remember their names.

The list of survivors and the list of those who fell fighting are noted later, a total of about 100 names. Thus we are missing a lot of more names altogether from the "Yizkor" list.

The editors and the survivors of Kartuz Bereze who are alive today, made every effort to find out the missing names. To our great dismay, we weren't still able to add more names to the list. It has to be remembered that after 50 and sometimes more years, it isn't possible to remember each and every name. Just so, it is with the survivors shown in the pictures that appear in this book. We were in many cases still unable to identify the people, even though they were in front of us…

Thus about 2500 names alone are listed in the following lists. But we mourn over 4500 of our brothers, sisters, parents, relatives, neighbors and just simple pure Jews who were annihilated from this world just because they were Jews.  May G-d  remember them for the better along with the other righteous of the world, and take revenge on the spilled blood of your servants.
