This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page

[BDrake@PewResearch.org BDrake@PewResearch.org]

X-No-archive: yes
There were multiple dividing lines among Jews in the European shtetls -
those who were Ashkenazi and those who were Hasidim; the poorer,
unlearned Jews and those who were better off. Such was the case in
Debica (Dembitz), in southeast Poland, about 75 miles east of Krakow.
Tensions among them often ran high but there was at least one ice-
breaker - when winter came, the town's gulley froze over and you could
go skating. As this excerpt from the Debica Yizkor book tells it,
differences disappeared at the rink and "everyone showed what they
could do."
