{"product_id":"9781939561381","title":"Krosno by the Wislok River - Memorial Book of Jewish Community of Krosno, Poland","description":"The history of the Krosno Jewish community is very brief but dynamic. Within a period of about ninety years a modern Jewish community was established that consisted of providing cultural, political, social, religious, and sport needs to the Jewish population. The Jewish community provided primary education to all Jewish youngsters so that they were able to read the Hebrew prayers. The community also tended to the needs of the poor and helpless Jews in the city. The Jewish population was always ready to respond to a call for help or to take active measures to solve problems. Within a matter of about two years, the Germans and their helpers managed to deracinate the entire community and its institutions. Most of the Jews of Krosno were murdered in the Belzec concentration camp. Today there is no trace of Jewish life in Krosno except for the Jewish cemetery.\u003cp\u003eThis book serves as the memorial to the Jewish community of Krosno. It should be of interest to descendants and researchers of this community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlternate names: Krosno [Polish], Krossen [German], Kros( Yiddish)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKrosno, Poland is located at: 49°41' North Latitude and 21°47' East Longitude, 180 mi South of Warsaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearby Jewish Communities: \u003cbr\u003eJasienica Rosielna 6 miles \u003cbr\u003eENE Jedlicze 7 miles W,\u003cbr\u003eDomaradz 8 miles NE,\u003cbr\u003eBrzozow 9 miles E,\u003cbr\u003eRymanow 9 miles SSE, \u003cbr\u003eStrzyzow 10 miles N,\u003cbr\u003eNiebylec 11 miles NNE,\u003cbr\u003eDukla 12 miles SSW,\u003cbr\u003eFrysztak 12 miles NW.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JewishGen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49954165391600,"sku":"9781939561381","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939561381","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
