Details:

Memorial Book of Goniondz is a translation of the Yizkor book first published in 1960 by its many Jewish inhabitants to memorialize a town that no longer exists, but is still in their hearts. It recalls the economic, social, and educational, and often turbulent history of the community though recollections, stories and poetry. There are vivid accounts of the horrors of World War II by the very individuals that experienced the death and devastation, including lists of those that survived and those who perished. But there are also loving tributes to the people, organizations and activities that enriched their lives and filled them with pride. This translation passes on their lost world to future generations.

Read the details in the survivors’ own words as they remember and bring to life the once vibrant Jewish community of Goniądz. Today there are no Jews living in Goniądz.
