Details:
Memorial Book of Goniondz is a translation of the Yizkor book first
published in 1960 by its many Jewish inhabitants to memorialize a town
that no longer exists, but is still in their hearts. It recalls the
economic, social, and educational, and often turbulent history of the
community though recollections, stories and poetry. There are vivid
accounts of the horrors of World War II by the very individuals that
experienced the death and devastation, including lists of those that
survived and those who perished. But there are also loving tributes to
the people, organizations and activities that enriched their lives and
filled them with pride. This translation passes on their lost world to
future generations.
Read the details in the survivors’ own words as they remember and bring
to life the once vibrant Jewish community of Goniądz. Today there
are no Jews living in Goniądz.
