Some 60,000 to 70,000 Jews lived in Bialystok prior to the Holocaust. Only a few hundred survived. Rafael Razner was one of them. As a eyewitness, Rajzner spent the post-War years penning his memoirs -- his account of the destruction of Bialystok Jewry. He started writing in Italy and then emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, where his Yiddish memoir, The Annihilation of Bialystok Jewry, was published by the Bialystoker Centre (Australia) in 1948. It was in 2001 that Harry Lew, a Melbourne Ophthalmologist whose parents were both born in Bialystok, visited his then 95-year-old father and was introduced to this book. Harry, an accomplished author as well as an Eye Surgeon, decided to make this important memoir available in English to a much larger audience. We are very thankful that he did.
