About This Project
This project will, at the very least, produce an English-language translation of the Yizkor book. The work will be completed following the standard guidelines of the JewishGen Yizkor Book Project, although fundraising will be done independently. In the final stage, the coordinator will proofread, edit, and prepare the definitive text for approval by the JewishGen Yizkor Book project and electronic publication on the Yizkor Book Translations site
Historical Significance
This Yizkor Book is a first-hand account by those who knew the Jewish community before its destruction. Its value now is that most of the contributors are either gone or elderly. For genealogists, a translation of the book is likely to reveal names and biographical details that are not available anywhere else.
Project Details
The projected cost for this project is in the range of US $13,000. JewishGen will be responsible for paying the translators. Donations to the fund will be tax-deductible for US taxpayers.
