Sefer Vladimirets translations

NOTES: Some (not all) of the chapters of the Sefer Vladimirets have a very heavy-handed and dramatic writing style. Although it’s easy to laugh at the characterization of all Jewish Vladimiretsers as ‘purehearted and God-fearing’ people (I know my family too well for that), please remember that these writers saw their entire village destroyed and were writing to honor those who died, to remember a place that no longer existed, and with a deep spirit of gratitude for being one of those who were delivered out of that nightmare.

All chapters of the Sefer Vladimirets yizkor book are now available, shown with links to the translated chapters. When a chapter appears in both Hebrew and Yiddish, the two are combined for the best translation. Some of the inserts are still being worked on, and the complete translation still needs to be edited for consistency and completeness, but we wanted to make the information available as quickly as possible.

As always, this work is being done by volunteers, and when not all the words are translatable, they do the best they can. To ensure that the flow of the original Sefer Vladimirets is shown, we have added pdf scans of each chapter and insert. All pdf files open in a new window. A link to Adobe Reader is provided here.
