REMEMBRANCES -The Holocaust
While Jews for many generations suffered injuries and death at the hands of numerous hate mongers, no single event caused as many deaths and family dislocations as the Holocaust, the Shoah. A large number of the individuals were lost through extermination in death camps, through death in slave labor camps, through death at the hands of their former neighbors or through the acts of others during the Second World War. Some who emigrated from Poland, Germany, Lithuania or Romania before the Holocaust were spared, others were not. In order to remember those who perished, I prepared this list of their names. This list is not complete because some information could not be obtained. I will continue to search so that this record can be as complete as possible. Other information about individuals who perished, where known, can be found under their name in the family tree. Married women are listed by their maiden name.

May their memory be for a blessing.

It is also appropriate to mourn the loss of more than 6,000 lives to terrorist action on September 11, 2001. When this edition was going to press, there was no information that any family members lost their lives due to this dastardly attack.
