This week's excerpt (http://bit.ly/1UnV7tE ) recounts the story of Jewish
self-defense groups that battled anti-Semites and their pogroms in the years
before the Holocaust. It is from the Yizkor book of Dubossary (Dubasari) in
Moldova. It is from a much longer chapter, "Self-Defense in Dubossar" by
Yehayahu Kantor. The book is also available in print (http://bit.ly/1VKTb3i).
There is also a KehilaLinks page (http://bit.ly/2ceaXvV) for this town,
bordered on the west by the Dniester River and not far from Kishinev, the
site of a brutal pogrom in 1903 that attracted world attention. In 1897, it
had a Jewish population of 5,219, and in the mid-1920s, it had a Jewish
population of 3,630.

This week's excerpt from the Yizkor book of Lubtch and Delatich in
Belarus is about ... food . Cooked, fried or baked with various kinds
of fat. In "Lubtch Foods"
<http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Lyubcha/lyu188.html#Page194>,
K. Hilel writes of
delicacies and staples, lists favorite foods for the holidays and
provides a Yiddish glossary of words for the implements needed to
prepare them, from the "boike" (a small barrel for churning butter) to
the "katuch" (a place under a baking over for keeping chickens).

This week's excerpt is from the Yizkor book of Czestochowa
(Czenstokov) about 60 miles northwest of Krakow in Poland. Its
Jewish population in 1931 was 25,588. The book is titled "The
Destruction of Czestochowa" and its focus is entirely on the brutal
events that followed the German occupation that began in 1939.
This short chapter ( http://bit.ly/2cjsQJp ) titled "Traitors"
described the activities of Jewish swindlers who preyed those
who believed they could fix things with the Gestapo to free arrestees.

The High Holidays begin next week, so I've chosen a short excerpt from the Yizkor
book of Strzyzow (the 1969 edition) in which Itzhok Berglass writes about the
anticipation and celebration of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
(http://bit.ly/2czIVwu). Strzyzow is about 100 miles east of Krakow in the south of
Poland, and had formerly been part of Galicia in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. In
1921, the Jewish population was about 1,000. There is also a KehilalLinks page for
the town (http://bit.ly/2czIVwu).

The death of Shimon Peres sent me looking for the small village of Vishniewa,
Poland (Wiszniew) where he was born in 1923. Located about 56 miles northwest
of Minsk near the Lithuanian border, it was part of the Second Polish
Republic from 1921 to 1939, Vishniewa's Jewish population about the time
Peres was born had fallen from 1,463 in 1897 to just over 900. That
population was wiped out in 1942 by the German. This week's excerpt is from
the Yizkor book of Wiszniew. In this account, Ziska Podbersky writes of the
revenge that 300 Vishnevan partisans exacted on those who carried out and
sympathized with the work of the Germans. There is also a KehilaLinks site
that can be found here: http://bit.ly/2dvNNSD

This week's excerpt, from the Yizkor book of Dusiat, Lithuania stylistically breaks
the mold of most of the excerpts published here. Instead of a chapter written by
one contributor, Sara Weiss-Slep - inspired by the many stories her father had told
her - visited reunions of many Dusiaters, gathered their memories, and created this
chapter to read as if the narrators are gathered together and, in much the same way
as in the old days, are sharing memories with one another, adding and intertwining
their words with those of others. The result is a wonderful evocation of life in
this shtetl, particularly about the food. And, at the end, there is a bonus recipe
for Dry Teiglach.
