Yizkor (memorial) books are a crucial source for research in East European Jewish history, Holocaust studies, and Jewish genealogy. Written in Yiddish or Hebrew or both, most titles include extensive documentation of Jewish life before the War, followed by vivid, first-hand accounts of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Visually, most of the books are extremely rich, featuring detailed maps, photographs and illustrations. Many titles include necrologies – lists of those who died – which make these books especially valuable for genealogical research.

Most yizkor books were printed by small associations and committees of survivors, primarily for their own use. As a result, print runs were small, and copies have been extremely hard to find. This reprint project marks the first time they are systematically available from a single source.

High-Quality, Clothbound Editions
Our reprints are complete, unabridged, clothbound facsimile editions, featuring sharp black text on white, acid-free paper. They are generally more readable than the originals, since contrast is higher and most extraneous dots, smudges and other irregularities have been electronically removed. Our clothbound books meet ANSI standards for library use.

Cost
$120 each, regardless of the size or scarcity of the original. (The cost is $90 for current members of the National Yiddish Book Center; membership is not available to libraries or other institutions.)
