Index to The Kalish Book for surnames up to C

The Kalish Book relates to Kalisz in Poland located at 51°45' N, 18°5' E
It is 95 km (59 mi) W of Lodz. 

The book was edited by I. M. Lask and published in Tel Aviv 1968
by  The Societies of Former Residents of Kalish and the Vicinity in Israel and the USA
It is an English version of Sefer Kalish,  published in Tel Aviv in two volumes 1964 & 1968.

For information on finding a library which has a copy of the book, refer to 
the Jewishgen Yizkor Book Database  ( do a search for Kalish "town -exact spelling" )

The index contains the names (in alphabetical sequence) of 1,075 Jewish people mentioned in The Kalish Book, together with the names of six non-Jews who, at great danger to themselves, helped Jews to escape from the Germans during the Holocaust.

A number of assumptions have been made for the purpose of producing the index.
 1. For the early days, before Jews had surnames, all names have been regarded as forenames.  The dividing line is by no means clear, and not all assumptions will have been correct.

2. Many names are not given in full and spellings are not always consistent, even when it is clear from the context that the same person is meant.  There may, therefore, be multiple entries for the same person or, more rarely, several people may have been combined in one entry.

3. The maiden names of married women are seldom given, so the names given in the text are used. 

4. Very few birth dates are given in the book, so dates have been very broadly estimated from the context.  Attempts have been made to distinguish the generations, but these may not always have been successful.

The index was produced by David W. of London, England in 1993
