Memorial Book of Kozienice (Poland) - Translation of Sefer Zikaron le-Kehilat Kosznitz

This is the translation of the Memorial book of the Jewish Community of Kozienice Poland and the neighboring town of Garbatke. It is all that remains of this once thriving community. It bears witness to its existence and final destruction."All that remains of Kozienice's Hasidim and preaching, Zionism and socialism, its leaders and common people, societies and organizations is the parcel of memories, the pages and few pictures of the book which we are bringing before you.Whereever you are - in Jerusalem or Paris, Brussels or New York, Rio de Janeiro or Melbourne-open this book, leaf through its pages, look at its pictures. Remember Kozienice, and do not forget its martyrs. Remember their daily struggle for Jewish survival, for Israel, for freedom and for independence of the Jewish people."Tel-Aviv, November, 1969Barukh Kaplinsky, EditorNear by towns are: Garbatka 7 miles SSE, Maciejowice 8 miles N, Sieciechow 8 miles ESE, Ryczywoi 9 miles NW, Stexyca 9 miles E, Sobolew 11 miles NNE, Glowaczoów 11 miles WNW, Deblin 12 miles E, Gniewoszow 13 miles SE, Irena 13 miles E, Granica 13 miles SE, Magnuszew 15 miles NNW, Laskarzew 15 miles N, Bobrowniki 16 miles E, Ryki 16 miles ENE, Zwolen 16 miles S, Jedlinsk 20 miles WSW, Stromiec 21 miles WNW, Pulawy 21 miles ESE
