Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Part I (LIfe) of the translation of the Memorial book of the twenty - three destroyed Jewish communities of the Sventzian region of Lithuania. Jews had lived in Svencionys (now Lithuania) since the 14th century. Between the two world wars, as part of independent Poland, it was the head of a district of 23 towns with sizeable Jewish communities--including Nowo Svencionys, Ignalino, Davgielski, Dukszty, Oduciski, Lingmiany, Lyntupy, Mielegiany, Sojaciszki, Podbrodzie, Koltynany, Kiemieliszki, and Cekinie. These communities were very active. Svencionys alone had five synagogues, two "seven-year" schools with Yiddish and Hebrew lectures, a Jewish junior high school, a Jewish culture and education association, a library, a theater, a football team and several Zionist groups. In 1941 the area was occupied by the Germans, and squads of the SS began a systematic campaign of slaughter. On September 27,1941, some 8000 Jews from the entire region were taken to a deserted military camp in the woods of Polygon and murdered, among them 3726 from the Sventzian area. A ghetto was established in Svencionys in July 1941; at its peak, it housed some 1,500 Jewish prisoners. In 1943 the Nazis liquidated the ghettos and labor camps in the area. About 4000 Jews from ghettos in Svenciony, Michaliszki and Oszmiana were transported to Ponary near Vilna, where almost all were shot. There were 23 communities, and they are no more. These two books document in Part I, the lives and in Part II, the deaths of the Jews who lived there, and finally, their heroic struggle to stay alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Przedecz, located in central Poland, had a vibrant Jewish community for some 600 years, starting at the end of the 14th century. In Yiddish, the city was known as Pshaytsh; in Hebrew, Pshedetz. Most Jews worked as tradesmen, artisans, merchants and small traders. The community supported a synagogue, a bet midrash, a mikva, Jewish schools, a Yeshiva, a bikkur cholim society caring for the sick, and a benevolent fund which granted interest-free loans. The town had a Jewish library where people could meet to read books, attend dances, hear lectures, and see theatrical performances. Nazis occupied the town in October 1939. Changing the town's name to Moosburg, they burned the Synagogue and began the persecution and killing of Jews. Nearly half were sent to forced labor camps, where most of them died of hunger and disease. In Przedecz, Jews were forced to live in a ghetto under horrific conditions. In early 1942, they were packed into the local church and left for three days without food or water. On April 24, 1942, the remaining Jews were sent to the Chelmno death camp. As the Editors wrote: This book is meant as a memorial and yahrzeit candle... revealing events and deeds in the lives of our dear ones up to the years of the Holocaust

Book excerpt: The editors of the Suwalki Memorial Book write: "In our memorial book we give expression to the last breath and cry of pain of our holy martyrs, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our dearest and most beloved, who were thrown into the gas chambers, into the deep pits, burned, shot, smothered, their last prayers and screams cut off and silenced by the Nazi executioners. We want this memorial book to perpetuate their unfinished prayers. Their lives were cut short by the murderers before they could complete their calls: Hear Oh Israel. All of us will say the kaddish by means of this memorial book. However, the Suwalk memorial book is not only a monument for our murdered parents, brothers and sisters, it is also a holy obligation to perpetuate all that distinguished Suwalk and all of the vanished Jewish towns: vibrant Jewishness, faith, creativity, lifestyle, and language.

Download or read book Mlynov Muravica Memorial Book written by J. Sigelman and published by Jewishgen.Incorporated. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buried under the rubble of time, forgotten by the vicissitudes of history, lie two small towns, both shtetls that until recently have been lost to memory, especially to the memory of families who ended up in the English-speaking world. They were sister towns, no more than a mile apart, and their economies, cultures, institutions, and families were so intertwined with one another that some residents later hyphenated the town names, as if they were one place. In the end, residents of the two towns were liquidated together in an area along the road between them. The larger of the two towns, Mlynov (also spelled "Mlinov" among other variations), still exists on maps today as "Mlyniv," in what is now western Ukraine, close to Dubno. There was a small Jewish community residing there not long after the area became part of Tzarist Russia in 1793. The smaller of the two towns, called Mervits ("Muravica," "Muravista," among other variations), no longer appears on maps today and its prior location is just outside the existing border of its larger and still existing neighbor. This new translation of the memorial volume opens a window into life as once lived in these two thriving, interconnected shtetls in the period from 1900 until 1942. Partly a collection of childhood recollections, folklore and stories, combined with the horrifying accounts of these towns' bitter end, these essays are a gift to those in the next generation who are seeking to understand where their ancestors came from and to honor their memories.
