The township of Ostrow Lubelski is still on the map of Poland but there is no sign of Jewish life there now. It is our duty, our debt, the not so numerous who are alive by sheer miracle, who survived the Holocaust and all its horrors, to tell about the terrible crimes committed by the Nazis. Not to remember the victims would mean to betray ourselves. We should give evidence, organize Holocaust Museums, publish books, Yizkor books. Our memories, testimonies, books, photos, drawings and documents should be collected.
Memory is our strength.
From the Yizkor Book following generations will learn the history of our disastrous experiences during the Holocaust. They will learn and they will remember. The Yizkor Book is the best insurance for a future without wars, without genocide, for peace. A Yizkor Book for Ostrow Lubelski is an eternal monument to our martyrs.
