    3. For information posted from another list, with permission of the original poster. NB This is FOR INFORMATION ONLY, it's outside the list remit, I am just bringing it to the attention of anyone who might be interested as your list administrator. Thanks Sherry I read with interest an item in the Weekend Australian Magazine March 8-9 2008 entitled Rajzner's List. It refers to a book originally written in Yiddish by Rafael Rajzner after the Holocaust, entitled "The Annihilation of Bialystoker Jewry". The author was one of only 200 Bailystok Jews who lived through the Concentration Camps. In it are lists of people from the town, with an original population of 100,000, who died during those terrible years. It is about to be privately published in English due to the efforts of Harry Lew a descendant of one of the families from the town, who lives in Melbourne, Victoria. Entitled "The Stories Our Parents Found Too Painful to Tell" it will be available by April. Harry Lew can be contacted at harlew@blaze.net.au. Perhaps this may be of interest to anyone who has contact with or is connected to Jewish people with Polish ancestry. This link will take you to the page where you can read the entire context. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/index/0,,5012694,00.html I found just reading the item heart rending. Regards Eilleen
