THE FREIDIN FAMILY OF ZELVA
So You Are Interested in Owning a Yizkor Book Translated into English?
Well, you have come to the right place!
Dr. Jacob Solomon Berger (known as Jack) has been translating Yizkor Books created after the Holocaust from (primarily) Yiddish and (some) Hebrew into English, so that these personal accounts are not left entombed behind a difficult language barrier to penetrate. Of the 1728 such books, 432 are primarily in Yiddish. He has been doing this for over a quarter century, and had produced, among other things, the list shown below.
If you have an interest in owning your own personal copy, you can contact Dr. Berger at the following e-mail address:
jsberger@sigmaxi.net
You can also discuss, with Dr. Berger, whether you wish to donate a copy of such a book to any library, museum or other Judaica repository that you wish to give such a gift.
This offer is open to the general public, and not restricted to those people who descend from someone that comes from the town address below.
