This was originally published by The Association of Lubertów in Paris in 1947. The book of 117 pages was edited by B. Tshubinski.
Historical Significance
Making the memorial book available in English widens the scope of the readers. The Lubertów Memorial Book is a microcosm of the period, representative of many of the smaller villages throughout Eastern Europe. It is crucial for the current generation to understand history (life prior to, during, and after the Holocaust) so that they can understand the present, and make an impact for the future. As a Yizkor Book written in 1947, this book is one of the earliest Yizkor books, and therefore a vital resource for genealogists and academics alike.
Project Details
This project is intended to result in the translation, from Yiddish to English, of the Lubertów Yizkor book. The Project Coordinator will direct a fundraising effort for the translation and secure the services of the professional translators. The Project Coordinator will select the order in which to translate the book text and will work closely with the translators to ensure a grammatically correct and accurate translation. The resulting translations will be posted, as they are completed, on the JewishGen Yizkor Book Translations site.
