| Zusammenfassung: |
Yizkor (memorial) books document the history of Jewish communities destroyed in the Holocaust. Often privately published and compiled through the collective efforts of former community residents, they describe daily life through essays and photographs, and memorialize murdered residents. Yizkor books generally focus on the history of the towns/cities, especially the period between first and second World Wars. Most are in Hebrew and/or Yiddish, although more English translations are being published now, especially through JewishGen, in online and print format.
