Sally, et al., Most yizkor books. written originally in Yiddish and Hebrew mostly, haven't been translated or only partly translated. The main repositories for original editions are through the NYPL and the Yiddish Book Center (noted in earlier replies):

This work is being coordinated through JewishGen.org's Yizkor Book Project, where you can find a list of books and availability of translations: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/__;!!KGKeukY!l33QlA2dt1z54PrJ1HrmqU8D91EoXAmk2a4aaSSrDSkWbmpYhZ-6Gibejt2ur-6w62A$ Another approach to this question is through JewishGen's Town Finder. A search for Lipcan brings up a link to the community information page with links to various resources, including the yizkor book translation project. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-2276778__;!!KGKeukY!l33QlA2dt1z54PrJ1HrmqU8D91EoXAmk2a4aaSSrDSkWbmpYhZ-6Gibejt2uWlUYMro$ These sorts of questions come up in Jewish genealogy circles quite often and the go-to source in almost every case is JewishGen.org.

I have a question about finding digitized online translations of a Yizkor book, Lipkan fun amol (Lipcan of Old) <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lipkany2/lipkany2.html__;!!KGKeukY!iNpWUnTXqkHOkV2TSnFtSQolTCs6nHmIyCJ8cAZTe1eRVruMCyw8tzZIxKboVmtJlB0$> I've only seen two or three chapters of the book in English online. My grandfather was born Lipkan, Bessarabia. If there are any other Lipkaners out there, hey landsmen!
