Volume Two of Shema Yisroel Encyclopedia Published

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

Volume Two in the series of the Shema Yisroel Encyclopedia has recently been published. The encyclopedia documents the mesiras nefesh displayed by our sacred martyrs for Torah and mitzvah observance in Holocaust death and work camps. Its publication is the result of two years of intensive efforts by prominent authors and researchers. The new volume has received warm accolades from gedolei Yisroel, who lauded this unique project and said that the book is a valuable treasure for the Jewish home.

The new volume includes more than 600 select stories of mesiras nefesh as well as 150 pictures of life in the camps. A special section includes 150 pictures of gedolei Yisroel who were killed in the Holocaust. This section, describing activities of these rabbonim in their communities and their murder al kiddush Hashem, is called Atsmos Yosef. It was shown to outstanding Torah figures who praised this eternal memorial to that period's rabbonim and gedolei Yisroel.
