Hi Jose, I was just reading your entries and could not find one from me. I feel terrible that I did not send one. It has been about a year since you were helping me plan my trip to Poland. Your help with finding my family and all of the pre-trip advice was amazing. I would never have been able to have the experience I had without your help. Thank you for posting the pictures that I sent to you. http://www.radzilow.com/juzba.htm
Hopefully I will have more to send to you later this year!
The new version of the site looks great! Thank you for everything again!
Take care!!!

To say that I was overwhelmed by what you have done would be an understatement, including the patriotic music. My grandparents loved America. They came from Jedwabne, so you will understand. I view the whole genealogy project as if they are not really gone but will always be remembered. I have prepared loose leaf books with photos, family trees etc. that I give to each of my grandchildren on their Bar/Bat mitzvah. They love it and so the remembrances continue into the next generations.

As an aside, we recently returned from a visit to Israel. where my wife Rebecca discovered relatives there she did not know she had. Very exciting. Anyhow, you have performed a MAJOR MITZVAH and I cannot thank you enough. Regards. Joe

Thank you, Jose, for creating this magnificent web page about Radzilow.

Thanks to this site and thanks to you, my mother, Chana Finkelstein/Ann Walters, has been able to tell her history as one of the last two survivors of the 1941 massacre.

Anna Bikont came to Kansas from Poland to meet and interview Chana for her upcomming book this last April and Dr. Deborah Klee of the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle wrote a front page article about my mother and her soul wrenching memories this week. Hopefully, the article, or at least a link to it, will be available on this site soon.

Thank you for all your effort creating this beautifully crafted site and for connecting us to my grandmother and uncle's testimony in English, Anna Bikont and my family's town.

Because of your efforts - coupled with Uncle Meyer - I now know that (1) Radzilower Shul is not in Brooklyn, but in the Lower East Side, (2) the original family name was spelled Sztabinski, (3) I have that precious picture of Uncle Meyer with my great-grandmother and great-aunt, neither of whom did I know of before, (4) my grandparents are buried in Mokom Sholom cemetery in Bayside, and (5) It was also recalled and confirmed that some of the family changed their surname not to Silverstein but to Stebins. Todah Rabah!

What a great website! So much research, obviously done with so much love. You must be the ultimate authority on Radzilow.

I went looking for pictures of my father's family and was surprised to see one of my uncle Morris Niedvetski's aunt and uncle and the whole family (he was married to my mother's sister) on the day the elder couple were moving from Cuba to Israel.

I can still remember being at their house, where my brother and my cousin had their bris. Brought back long forgotten beautiful memories.

Thanks for getting in touch with me.

I am overwhelmed by the great work you have done in this site. I was searching for some details of my family history and found much more than I expected.

My family (Grandfather Nitzvetzki and Grandmother Tchervinski) born and lived in Radzilow until the early twenties when my grandfather fled to Cuba and managed to bring over his family of 9 children and wife. From the story I read here I understand that they were the lucky ones....

Later on, most of my family arrived from Cuba to Israel.

Dear Jose,

The virtual shtetl of Radzilow you created is without doubt the best version ever of the town. I am a journalist, I work in Gazeta Wyborcza in Warsaw and now I am writing a book about Radzilow. I can't imagine how I could complete it without your contribution. Thank you for all.

Dear Jose,

A year ago before you contacted me I knew almost nothing about Radzilow. You contacted me and asked me if I knew that my family name had deep roots in north east Poland and that the first victim in the pogrom in Radzilow whose her head was cut off (my father's sister) was a 17-year-old girl named Dorogoy. At that time I didn't even know where exactly Radzilow is located.

Talking with you and surfing in your wonderful web site increased my knowledge about my family and this place.

A deep dark cloud is still covering the events that took place 60 years ago and an historical justice needs to be done before any real reconciliation can take place. One "miserable" memorial stone can not represent 500 years of Jewish history - not for anyone of my family that got murdered !

I don't know Jose if you will find that our families in Radzilow were somehow related, but for me you are a brother.

Thank you for your wonderful work.

Avraham Dorogoy

I am overwhelmed. The picture presented of Jewish life in that Polish shtetl is the best I've seen to date. Photos and maps are excellent.
