Details:
From the end of WWII, until 1957, when the original version of this Yizkor Book was published, 130 Zhetl survivors from numerous countries around the world struggled between their desires to put the horrors of the Holocaust behind them and their obligation to make sure that the world would never forget. This is their work product. The book is loosely divided into six time periods between the year when Zhetl was formed (1498) and when the Yizkor Book was published (1957):
Baruch Kaplinsky, the Editor of the original version of this book, penned these words in its closing. They are as apt a description of the book as can be written: REMEMBER! Remember 450 years of creativity of our ancestors in the town of Zhetl! Remember generations that educated your parents to Torah and to deeds! Remember the tragic death of our loved ones in Zhetl! Remember and don't forget! May this book serve as a memorial to the vibrant community of Zhetl that no longer exists.
