Synopsis "Book of Tarnogrod; in Memory of the Destroyed Jewish Community (Tarnogród, Poland)"

In 1939, in the Polish town of Tarnogród, 65 miles (105 km) south of Lublin, lived 5000 residents, half Jewish. Jews lived in Tarnogród for hundreds of years. By the end of WWII none remained.The story of this community, it's history, it's people, it's culture and it's demise is told in this book by those who survived. After the War they settled in Israel, the United States and England.In 1966, as a memorial to the Tarnogród they knew, they published Sefer Tarnogrod, The Book of Tarnogrod, in Yiddish and Hebrew.The authors wrote -"We do not pretend to erect a full memorial to the ancient Jewish Settlement in our city. Tarnogród deserves a more perfect monument. Our ambition was to describe and commemorate the Tarnogród that still lives in us, that is in our flesh and bones.May The Book of Tarnogrod be a kind of bridge between the past that has been so cruelly interrupted, and the future whosesun rises before our eyes."The authors hope that this book will serve as a bridge to the future is fulfilled. Jews have returned to Tarnogród to visit where their ancestors lived. In addition to what is written on these pages memorials have been erected in Tarnogród to those who perished in the Holocaust. And now Sefer Tarnogrod has been translated into English.
