Such a description can be found in the memorial book, which recounts the history of our town as well as the culture typical of Jewish communities in Poland, and the particular features of the Wysokie-Mazowieckie community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we began realizing our plan for the \u003cem\u003eYizkor Book\u003c\/em\u003e, we encountered serious difficulties - both in gathering the materials and in collecting the financial means for publishing the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur doubts and efforts concerning publication of the book lasted for almost ten years, until we finally succeeded in creating the book that we had aimed at. True, the book is modest, and it lacks many details of important events and interesting figures who lived and were active in Wysokie, and left their mark of their talent and good deeds on the town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides being limited by our small budget -which rendered the publication of the book difficult -we consciously limited ourselves by deciding to describe only important social and community events, and mention very few individuals, so as to avoid arguments and complaints by townspeople whose families and loved ones were not mentioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 20, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42160003186823,"sku":"9781954176140","price":61.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f72621713f75dce01b3464a9ea21af42.webp?v=1733270806","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/wysokie-mazowieckie-memorial-book-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
