Description

A black hardcover book with a title in gold Hebrew. Interior includes text in Hebrew and black and white photographs.

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Memorial books, known as Yizkor Bikker, are published by individuals or organizations to document the vanished world of Jewish presence in towns, shtetls, villages or cities before the Jewish victims succumbed to the Nazi scourge. Memorial books may vary in scope or style, but all are dedicated to the collection of testimonies and reports, old sepia-toned photographs of people and places, dedications to synagogues and sport teams, holiday gatherings and cemeteries: all an effort to keep memories of loved ones and beloved places alive, remembrances retrieved from the prospect of historical loss and amnesia.
