Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stawiski, Poland is a small town in northeastern Poland situated on the Dzierzbia River. The town was established in the early 15th century and over the years had multiple rulers. Napoleon's march across Europe to Russia took him through Stawiski. The town was a commercial center known for furs, fabrics and hats. The Great Synagogue of Stawiski was built in 1739; it was destroyed by the Nazis during World War II. The town first came under Soviet occupation and in June 1941 the Germans seized control of the town. A month later the Nazis forced many of the town's Jewish residents march into the forest where they were murdered; today there is a mass grave of 700 people at the site. Other Jews from Stawiski were sent to the transport camp of Bogusze. Those surviving that camp were transported to Treblinka and Auschwitz. Once a town with over 2000 Jews, no Jews live in Stawiski today. This book serves as a memorial to the Jewish community of Stawiski that no longer exists. It will be of interest to descendants of the town's Jewish community, scholars of Polish, World War II and Jewish history desiring primary source material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the translation of the Memorial (Yizkor) Book of Jewish community of Grajewo, Poland. 356 pages, 8.5" by 11," paperback, including all photos and other images. Jews have been living in Grajewo, in the province of Bialystok, Poland since the late 17th century. The 1765 census counted 83 Jewish people. By 1857, the number had grown to 1,457, comprising 76% of the town's population. By 1921, the percentage of Jews had decreased to 39%. In 1933, anti-Jewish outbreaks occurred in Grajewo. During the Soviet occupation between September 1939 and June 1941, Jewish businesses were nationalized. The invasion of Grajewo on 22 June 1941 by the Nazis marked the beginning of the devastation and horrors thrust upon the Jewish population. Within a few months, 1,600 to 2,000 Jews had been sent to the transit camp at Bogosza and on to the extermination camps at Treblinka and Auschwitz. The United Grayever (Grajewo) Relief Committee memorialized the Jewish Community of Grajewo by publishing the original Yiddish Yizkor Book in 1950. Now it is available in English for current and future generations to learn of the rich history of this community. Grajewo is located 114 miles NNE of Warsaw. Alternate names for the town include Grajewo (Polish), Grayavah (Yiddish), Graevo (Russian), Grayeve, and Grayevo.

This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serock, about 20 miles from Warsaw, was a community built on the Narew River. It had a Jewish presence since the 18th century. Involved in all sorts of commerce and industry, the Jewish residents constituted nearly half of the town's population by the start of World War II. Traditional in their religious beliefs, for the most part, over 2,000 Jews were displaced from the town by the end of 1939. The vast majority initially were sent to various Polish Ghettoes, and eventually to Nazi-run death camps, such as Treblinka. After the war, those Serock residents who survived returned to the town and eventually moved on with their lives in other countries around the world, notably the United States of America and the State of Israel. This books serves as a memorial to all the victims of the Shoah from Serock and the nearby vicinity. Klobuck Poland is located at 50 54' North Latitude / 18 56' East Longitude.

Download or read book Memorial Book of Gombin Poland written by Ada Holtzman and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all Yizkor books, the Gombin memorial book is a unique source of information about the town's vanished Jewish community. Its narratives, testimonies and photographs offer a vivid overview of the history, religious and secular institutions, leading personalities, social and cultural activities, and daily life of the Gombin Jews before the Second World War. They also convey the horrors of their persecution, suffering and annihilation following the occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany. As an important addition to the original version, this English edition of the book includes a new appendix with individual information about 2,248 Gombiners who are known to have perished during the Shoah. For me, it is a privilege to have been able to contribute to the vital enterprise of transmitting the historical legacy of the Jews of Gombin to new generations of scholars and Gombiner descendants all over the world.

Download or read book Memorial Book of the Community of Siedlce Siedlce Poland written by A. Wolf Yassni (Jasny) and published by Jewishgen.Incorporated. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Yizkor Book translation is the third of three books about Siedlce. This book is also the most important one because it includes four centuries of the history of the Jewish Community of Siedlce. Yitzchak Kaspi, a Jewish historian who survived the war, wrote the 300 page chapter. Before the second world war Siedlce had a significant Jewish population, at times being the majority I town. Jews started settling in Siedlce from the mid-16th century. They were inn keepers, merchants and artisans. In the 18th century a Jewish hospital, a Beit Midrash and a Jewish cemetery were established. Siedlce came under Austrian rule after the third partition of Poland until 1809 when it was passed to Russian rule in 1815. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, secular political and cultural activity was evident among the Jews in Siedlce. Various political movements and parties such as Zionists, the Bund, and others existed. Between 1911 and 1939, two Yiddish weeklies were published in town. In 1939, Jews were 37% of the town's population. Germans deported over a thousand Jews from elsewhere in Poland to Siedlce in 1940. In March 1941 a three days pogrom in Siedlce orchestrated by the Germans, killed many of its Jewish inhabitants. In August of the same year the Jews were forced into a Ghetto. In August 1942 some 10,000 Siedlce Jews were deported to Treblinka and murdered there. The town's remaining Jews were sent to extermination on November 25th, 1942. The Siedlce Jewish community was not restored after the war. May this book serve as a memorial to the vibrant community of Siedlce that no longer exists.

Download or read book Memorial Book of Nowy Zmigrod Galicia Poland written by William Leibner and published by Jewishgen.Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of this small Jewish community of Nowy Zmigrod in the Carpathian mountains in Galicia, Poland is contained between the front and back covers. The beautiful interior of the old synagogue on the front cover shows the wealth and power of the Jewish community. The back cover represents the flames that destroyed the synagogue as well as the entire Jewish community. The Jews are gone, the synagogue is gone, and all of the Jewish institutions are gone. The town of Nowy Zmigrod has no Jew living there to give testimony to its history. Thus, this Yizkor or Memorial Book, was created to memorialize the hamlet's Jewish community. The only evidence of the long Jewish presence are the very old Jewish cemetery in Nowy Zmigrod and the mass grave site at the forest of Halbow near Nowy Zmigrod where the Jews of the hamlets of Nowy Zmigrod, Osiek Jasielski, and nearby towns were murdered on July 7, 1942.

Download or read book Memorial Book of Sochaczew written by G Wejszman and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sochaczew, located in central Poland is a town about 44 miles due west of Warsaw, whose Jewish presence dates back to the 15th century. The first reported Jew in town was in 1463 - a doctor. Life was not easy for the Jews due to an alleged "blood libel" in the mid- 16th century, and the rabbi was punished with a death penalty, along with several other inhabitants. In the 19th century the Jewish community grew. Sochaczew became a great Hasidic center, first led by Tzaddik Abraham Bornsztajn. In the later part of the 19th century reconstruction of the synagogue began after the previous one was burned down. Being on the road between Berlin and Warsaw many of the Jews fled during World War I. There were several town "personalities" such as Chaikel the Wagon Driver that were written about in addition the many rabbis. There were workers' movements and professional unions as well as a Bund and Communist Circle. Memories of some of the survivors are related in the book. The synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis when they entered the town in September 1939, and the town was destroyed during World War ll. Many of the Jews ended up in the Warsaw ghetto and some ended up in the Skarzyko Work Camp. 4,000 Jews lived in the town at the start of the war. Few survived. Today, there are no Jews in the town.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category A monumental work of nonfiction on a wartime atrocity, its sixty-year denial, and the impact of its truth Jan Gross's hugely controversial Neighbors was a historian's disclosure of the events in the small Polish town of Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, when the citizens rounded up the Jewish population and burned them alive in a barn. The massacre was a shocking secret that had been suppressed for more than sixty years, and it provoked the most important public debate in Poland since 1989. From the outset, Anna Bikont reported on the town, combing through archives and interviewing residents who survived the war period. Her writing became a crucial part of the debate and she herself an actor in a national drama. Part history, part memoir, The Crime and the Silence is the journalist's account of these events: both the story of the massacre told through oral histories of survivors and witnesses, and a portrait of a Polish town coming to terms with its dark past. Including the perspectives of both heroes and perpetrators, Bikont chronicles the sources of the hatred that exploded against Jews and asks what myths grow on hidden memories, what destruction they cause, and what happens to a society that refuses to accept a horrific truth. A profoundly moving exploration of being Jewish in modern Poland that Julian Barnes called "one of the most chilling books," The Crime and the Silence is a vital contribution to Holocaust history and a fascinating story of a town coming to terms with its dark past.

Download or read book Czyzewo Memorial Book written by Shimon Kanc and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-17 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book before us, we unite ourselves with the holy memory of the dear natives of our town, who were murdered in such a terrible and frightful manner, of which there are no human words to describe. There was a Jewish community in Czyzewo, and it is no longer. We, the survivors, come with awe and trepidation to erect a monument to it. We attempted to gather and weave together chapters about the life in the town, a life of toil and creativity, the physical and the spiritual life, a vibrant life in all its dimensions and all its eras. Generation followed generation in the chain of Jewish life of Czyzewo. A multi-faceted Jewish life grew here, and laid down roots. Generations to come will find in this book, as in all memorial books to the victims of the Holocaust, a testimony and mirror into what it was like in the Diaspora of Europe prior to the great destruction, when all vestiges of Jewish life were erased from our town.
