Memorial Book of Kobylnik (Narach, Belarus)

This is the Memorial Book of the destroyed Jewish community of Kobylnik  Belarus, also known as Narach. It contains the history of the community, first-hand accounts of survivors and emigres from the town who managed to survive the Shoah (Holocaust).

We, the children in the Diaspora, who do not read Yiddish or Hebrew will benefit from these English translations. We might will find some stories contradicted or repeated, but remember the people that wrote them were not trained authors, but were eye-witnesses to the events and history, so read this book and others anyway. Find out how our grandparents lived and how they died. Read about their town, the rich Jewish culture, the history and especially about the destruction during Holocaust. With anti-Semitism rearing its ugly head again, let us remember and never forget those martyrs! 

Those destroyed communities were our foundation for love, compassion, learning, brotherhood and Tzedaka...use these Yizkor Books with pride and know the people you came from!
