Dear Friends,

We are pleased to offer 4 volumes from the Klarsfeld Foundation NEVEK

The NEVEK project was inaugurated in 1988, assisted by the Association for
Research of the Hungarian Speaking Jewry founded in Israel ( called in
Hungarian Szol a Kakas mar) and by the Beate Klarsfeld Foundation (New
York). In 1992 the Klarsfeld Foundation became the sole promoter of the
project.

The books aim to list all Hungarian Jewish victims of the Holocaust, and
draw on deportations lists drawn up by the Hungarian Royal Gendarmerie in
April,1944; personal cards of the Hungarian Ministry of Defense dealing with
Jews drafted to labor battalions; lists used by other ministries and local
administration, such as those leading to the confiscation of Jewish property
; food ration cards for Jews ; lists of internment camps held by the
Hungarian Police , lists of ghettoes , lists of the Jewish Houses in
Budapest , lists and personal cards of concentration camps controlled by the
Germans, etc.

The NEVEK project is directed by Dr. Gavriel Bar-Shaked.

All books list names in Hungarian, using the Latin alphabet. Introductory
material is all translated into English, Hungarian  Hebrew.

We have several copies each of the following volumes from the NEVEK series.

[ha-Safran]: Large synagogue libraries

2003-07-22 Thread Andrea Rapp
Is there a list somewhere of large synagogue libraries and their number
of volumes?
   We would like to know where our (ca. 20,000 volume) library ranks.
