This overview translation of the Hebrew section of the Rzeszow Yizkor book contains the following features:

1. Headings and subheadings of all sections.
2. Photo captions only where the Hebrew caption adds detail. In the Hebrew section of the book, the photo captions are already translated for the most part, so where the translation is direct, it will not be noted in this overview. However, often the Hebrew translation adds lists of names and other such information. In such cases, the caption is translated.
3. A cross reference into the English section for articles that appear both in the Hebrew and English section. A cross reference into the Yiddish section for articles that appear both in the Hebrew and Yiddish section. There may be omissions in either cross reference.
4. When I judged that an item in the English version of the Hebrew table of contents could have been worded better, I took the liberty of using my own version in this overview.
5. Map legends.

The city is known as Rzeszow in Polish. In Jewish circles it is often known as Reisha or Zhezhev. I have generally used the name Rzeszow in this translation.

There was no consistency of the English versions of names in this book. The English versions of names often appear in different forms in different parts of the book. For example, the table of contents may have the name spelled differently than it is spelled in a photo caption of the same article. I used my best judgement, but any corrections would be appreciated.
