Details: This book, the Scroll of Life and Destruction of the Holy Community of Kobrin, is a modest monument in recognition of that life. Woven in these pages is a web of creation of Jews, our parents, our brothers and our sisters, that will stand through all the stormy seasons; not just a gravestone for the bones and ashes of their bodies, but a monument to their spiritual values of religion, ethics, work and education, the tapestry of their lives. This book of tears on the graves of our precious ones rather than scattered by the roads and paths where there is no marker or monument. We wanted in this book to remember our city of Kobrin, from which we draw our strength and power deeds of the lives of our ancestors through many generations; to remember and to recall to our children and those who come after us the final chapters of the battles our parents withstood and to impress on the memory of those who come after us: remember what Amalek did to you. These pages distill in writing the great accusation of the Jews against the mur derers and against the mad world that stands on our blood. A. Gh. Zaritski, N. Chinitz, N. Melitz and M.
