Names of the Jewish Martyrs of Zakroczym
Compiled from memory, as per the location of each family, starting from the author house. Josef Zilberberg believes he managed to record the names of 80% of the Holocaust martyrs of Zakroczym!
Transcribed and translated by Ada Holtzman, August 2000.
A note from the translator:
The original order can revised by sorting the data accoring the number given to each name. there were some cases when the nickname/pofession/given name and surnames were mixed up. It was done in good faith and with the only intention of commemorating the victims. I shall appreciate any comments/additions to this important list.
