The history of this small Jewish community of Nowy Zmigrod in the Carpathian mountains in Galicia, Poland is contained between the front and back covers. The beautiful interior of the old synagogue on the front cover shows the wealth and power of the Jewish community. The back cover represents the flames that destroyed the synagogue as well as the entire Jewish community. The Jews are gone, the synagogue is gone, and all of the Jewish institutions are gone. The town of Nowy Zmigrod has no Jew living there to give testimony to its history. Thus, this Yizkor or Memorial Book, was created to memorialize the hamlet's Jewish community. The only evidence of the long Jewish presence are the very old Jewish cemetery in Nowy Zmigrod and the mass grave site at the forest of Halbow near Nowy Zmigrod where the Jews of the hamlets of Nowy Zmigrod, Osiek Jasielski, and nearby towns were murdered on July 7, 1942.
Ik heb een vraag over het boek: ‘Memorial Book of Nowy Zmigrod - Galicia, Poland - Leibner, William’.
