Translation of
Pinkas Krynki

(Memorial Book of Krynki)

Project Leader: Michael Palmer
JewishGen Liason/Advisor: Lance Ackerfeld

Project Synopsis

This project is being initiated in order to fund the remainder of the translation of the Krynki Yizkor Book, edited by D. Rabin, published 1970 in Tel Aviv by Former Residents of Krynki in Israel and the Diaspora. Many sections of the Memorial Book have already been translated and are available on JewishGen. The goal is to complete the Hebrew section translation for the most significant portions of the remaining pages, It will then be published as a book through JewishGen.

Key Audiences

Descendants of the Jewish community of Krynki who are interested in learning about their ancestral community and lost relatives and want to contribute to the preservation of their heritage and making it accessible for future generations.

Project Importance

Yizkor books are unique sources of information on once vibrant towns, primarily in central and Eastern Europe, whose Jewish populations were destroyed in the Holocaust. Written after World War II by Holocaust survivors.

Project Details

As funds become available, Hebrew sections will be translated into English according to importance, by a professional translator. The project coordinator will review the translation and work closely with the translator.

Estimated Cost

At this time we are working on the project with a translator and the total cost should be between $2,000 - $3,000
