The Jews of Krakow and its Surrounding Towns

 

Youth Section

This section is devoted to articles by second and third-generation descendants from Krakow. We would be most pleased to receive any stories or other material submitted by our "Krakow Youth".

A Story

Our first article was written by Lisabeth Meyers at the age of 16 years. Her article, titled "A Story" was written after she interviewed her grandfather (Edward STEINER), a survivor from Krakow for about 5 hours. It was published in 3 installments in "Martyrdom and Resistance" Yad Vashem's U.S. newspaper, in the fall and winter of 2001-2002, and also in a magazine that publishes articles by teen writers, called "Young Voices" in 2001. Roman Weingarten, the president of The New Cracow Friendship Society, and a friend of the family, was so impressed with her article that he had Lisabeth and another teenager read the story for his Temple's Yom Ha'Shoah service in April 2002. "A Story" is dedicated to Edward Steiner.
