# The Lviv Book — Summary

*The Encyclopaedia of the Jewish Diaspora, Poland Series: Lwów Volume*, is the memorial (yizkor) book of the Jewish community of Lviv, published in Tel Aviv: 1956 ^[1].

The English translation is hosted by JewishGen ^[1]. The summary below is the book's own table of contents, organised as the book is. Each chapter entry links to its English translation page on JewishGen and gives the book's own page reference. Where the book is silent, this page is silent too — no statement about the community is inferred or invented.
