Help Us Create An Eternal Place To Memorialize Each Individual Jew from Bardejov Who Perished in the Holocaust
WE BELIEVE that every victim of the Holocaust should be individually remembered.
WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION to memorialize their names and to tell their stories.
WE ARE INSCRIBING THE NAMES of more than 3,000 Jews from Bardejov and its surrounding villages on the Memorial Wall to memorialize those who never returned.
WE ARE ENSURING that the Jewish community that once thrived in Bardejov will be remembered by the future generations of both Jews and non-Jews so that the atrocities of the Holocaust will never happen again.
Let us, together, keep their memory alive. This is the least we can do.

The Memorial Book of Jewish Bardejov
Our Story
We have an obligation to tell the story.
The Memorial Book of Jewish Bardejov is planned as a special publication by the Bardejov Jewish Preservation Committee to preserve and record Bardejov’s rich Jewish history for the future generations of our children and grandchildren.
Through stories, maps, and archival images of Jewish life, the Memorial Book of Jewish Bardejov will bring Bardejov’s Jewish history back to life.
We will pay tribute to our parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, family, and friends by telling their stories. We invite you to join us as authors and guardians of Bardejov’s Jewish heritage in a special section of the book dedicated to remembering your loved ones.

Lidia and Thomas Berger
Lidia Gold was born in Bardejov in 1930 and attended the local school until the deportation. She spent the first years of the war
in hiding. She was caught by the Halinka Guard in 1944 and was sent to Bergen Belzen, where she met Thomas Berger, a
native of Bratislava. They were liberated by the British Army in 1945, got married and immigrated to the Untied States in 1947.
Here they raised three children and ten grandchildren.
After her retirement, Lidia found a new passion in art. She studied at the New York Art School and had several exhibi-
tions. One of her paintings decorates the entrance lobby of the Holocaust Museum in Houston.
Thomas, who was a successful business man, retired in 2010. Since then he has been volunteering in local schools, telling
his survival story and accompanying high school groups to the March of the Living in Poland.
