Jewish Partisans and Fighters of Volyn
Translation of Partizanim v'Lochamim Yehudim MeiVolhyn L'Zichram
by Shalom Bronstein
INTRODUCTION
This is a transcription into English of the necrology that is found in the book
Jewish Partisans and Fighters of Volyn in their Memory, pages 98-105. The transcription
followed the generally accepted pattern for Hebrew to English. Below are the guidelines
used in transcribing these names:
- Names beginning with the Hebrew letter Alef appear under the letters A, E, I & O
according to their pronunciation
- Most of the names beginning with the Hebrew letter Vav appears under W even though
there is no W in either Hebrew or Yiddish.
- All names beginning with the Hebrew letter Het appear with a 'Ch' as their initial letters.
- Names beginning with the Hebrew letter Zayin appear under the letter Z even though
some would probably be more familiar if spelled with an S.
- Names beginning with the letter Peh will be found both under F and P.
- Some of the names beginning with the letter Tzadi are listed under the letter that
would be most familiar -- Zimmerman & not Tzimmerman, Charney & not Tzarney while other
names begin with Tz.
- All names beginning with the letter Kuf are listed under the letter K.
- The 'Y' and 'I' endings for the listed names are interchangeable as all are spelled
with the letter Yod.
- Some of the names listed under S begin with the letter Shin.
- All first names follow the Hebrew, Yiddish or Russian spelling as it appeared in
the list, e.g. Avraham & not Abraham; Yitzhak & not Isaac; Aizik & not Isaac.
