About the Companions
Each year, we curate collections of inspiring stories and first-hand accounts from Yizkor (Memorial) Books — translated into English by JewishGen — that describe how Jewish communities throughout Eastern Europe prepared for and observed Passover, the High holidays, and Chanukah.
These vignettes remind us that genealogy is more than dates and names; it’s about connecting with previous generations and preserving the values they held most dear.
