I dedicate the translation of this book to my friend Susan Kingsley Pasquariella and to The Jewish Place in Bialystok www.jewishbialystok.pl
May the translation of this book serve the eternal memory of Jewish life in the shtetl Krynki; may it bear witness to those who lived there and used a language which, with its warmth and melody, carries light into our hearts.
May we remember its sound and the yearning that is vibrating in it to find a real homeland. May we be reminded of the ideals, hopes and aspirations of those people to create a new, more righteous world.
My transcription of Yiddish (Romanization) is done according to the international YIVO standard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish_orthography
In reverence and respect for the people who spoke and wrote the "old" Yiddish as their mother tongue, I refrain as far as possible from adapting the names into German or English. For these reasons, I also refrain from adapting the Ashkenazic pronounced Hebraisms.
My heartfelt thanks to JewishGen for making this translation possible as a printed book.
