The colourful and dynamic Jewish life of Tarnow has been welldescribed and in detail in a long series of articles and memories, both in the first volume and in this, the second volume, of the Tarnow memorial book (yizkorbukh).
It would however be, without doubt, an exaggeration on our part to say that all aspects of the effervescent Jewish life of Tarnow has found the fullest expression in these two volumes of the Tarnow memorial book (yizkorbukh).

The memorial slab/stone that has remained undamaged until today, is found in the house in Goldhammer Street and in its time was installed in honour of the founder of the 'Credit company for business and industry' in Tarnow, Herman Mertz zl, the much deserved public figure and head of the community (in the years around 1870). Thanks to his efforts there was built this twostoreyed house in which this credit institution took up the whole ground floor. |
