Book Explores Jewish Roots in Poland

Congratulations to ISJM Sponsor Miriam Weiner on the recent publication of her book, Jewish Roots in Poland: Pages from the Past and Archival Inventories. This handsome volume is an essential aid for genealogists as well as must reading for anyone interested in remembering the three million Polish Jews who perished in the Holocaust. It contains a thirty page bibliography, over 500 photographs, and a thorough inventory of surviving Jewish records in Poland. (ISJM is offering this book as a premium to contributors of $500 or more).
