JewishGen has many projects. Several of them are specific to a place. The Yizkor book site is located at
http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/
After the Holocaust, groups of survivors pooled their resources, memories and photos and published them as a Yizkor Book. A large number of these books have been translated into English and can be read on JewishGen. There is no charge. If a book about your town has been added to the Yizkor book site on JewishGen, you will be able to learn a lot about the town before you get there. Your ancestors may even be mentioned in the book.

The KehilaLinks site is also part of JewishGen.
