There is more than one ''Jewish Encyclopaedia'' which can be sought at public libraries and will provide background as well as biographical information on those of note. ''YIZKOR'' ''(Memorial)'' books are histories of individual Eastern European Jewish communities, some going back into the 17th and 18th centuries. There are over 1,000 compiled after WWII by survivors of communities in Poland, Ukraine and Hungary. Most are in Hebrew or Yiddish but a number of them have sections in English, and translations are a project of the JewishGen website. | There is more than one ''Jewish Encyclopaedia'' which can be sought at public libraries and will provide background as well as biographical information on those of note.
