ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Thanks is given to the following:

• Waldek Natonski, who lives in Zolynia and maintains the Polish-language Zolynia site at http://www.zolynia.pl/ (when there is "server" trouble, go to http://www.zolynia.regiony.pl/). Waldek has provided numerous photographs of Zolynia, particularly those of the village before and during the war, and he has helped correct and enhance the historical narrative. Also thanks to members of Mr. Natonski's family who also provided information and photographs.
  
  
• Warsaw-based researcher Pawel Brunon Dorman, a Warsaw-based professional researcher who was engaged to take the photographs of modern Zolynia in September 2000. The photograph of Zolynia toys is courtesy of The Center for Promotion and Support in Agriculture Enterprise, Podkarpackie Province, Poland. The photo of School No. 1 is courtesty of the former Rzeszow Provincial government.
  
  
• Translators David Goldman (Yiddish) and Peter Jassem (Polish) for their fine professional help with some of the source material.
  
  
• Thanks also to Project VII for helping the designer overcome some coding and browser compatibility challenges.
  
  
• We especially would like to thank the officers and members of Erste Zoliner Chevra Anshei Sfard, the hometown association for Zolynia Jews living in the New York City area, for their support. Without William Katz and Miriam Marder in particular we could never have identified people in some of the historic photographs and in some small way restored their memory to the world.
