Genealogical and Translation Services

 

I have been translating Yizkor Books, (books written by Holocaust survivors about the history of their towns and cities in pre-war Europe) since 1997. My translations are all published on-line at www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/translations.html 

 

The following is an index of all translation projects in which I have been involved. Many of these are Encyclopedia articles (from Pinkas Hakehillot series) of varying length.  Some are full sized Yizkor books, either translated in their entirety or in part.  Books that I have translated close to their entirety include Podhajce, Zgierz (Vol I and II), Sochaczew,  Debica, Roznyatow, Ruzhany, Ratno, Turka.
