In 1962 the Association of former residents of Wolbrom published a Yizkor Book, commemorating their community. The book, “Wolbrom Irenu” (Our Town Wolbrom), was written in Hebrew and Yiddish. Hundreds of Yizkor books were published after the Holocaust by both individuals and organizations to remember their communities and those who perished.

“For more than one thousand years, Jews lived in Europe, organizing communities to preserve their distinct identity. In periods of relative tranquility, Jewish culture flourished, but in periods of unrest, Jews were forced to flee. Wherever they settled, they endowed the people amongst whom they lived with their talents. Here their stories will be told..” Inscription on the wall in the Valley of the Communities
