The Yizkor Book
Book of WarsawA curated summary of the memorial book, organised as the book itself is. Every statement cites the chapter it comes from; where the book is silent, this page is silent too.
# The Warsaw Book — Summary
*Book of Warsaw*, is the memorial (yizkor) book of the Jewish community of Warsaw, edited by Former Residents of Warsaw and surroundings, published in Buenos Aires, 1955 (Y) [1].
Original-language title: *Pinkas Varshe* (translated by the JewishGen Yizkor Book Project) [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.
