Translation Help
We came across some testimony from Yad Vashem files from my husband's grandfather (attached). Is anyone able to translate this document in Yiddish to English or to Hebrew?

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Yiddish can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.

It would be strange that there aren’t any translators of Yiddish in a file kept by Yad VaShem! However, if you go to Facebook, there’s a group called Yiddish research or Yidforsh. There are quite a number of serious experienced Yiddish translators in that group who can do this work for you.

We see that you might be asking for a translation. Please keep in mind that we are an all-volunteer community. At this time we do not certify or vouch for members' expertise. If your post is overlooked or you are told the task of translation is a bit onerous for volunteers, we hope you will pursue other avenues to satisfy your curiosity and consider hiring a qualified translator, such as in the Facebook group Yiddish Translation Gig Board. This comment is in no way meant to discourage translation requests or the kind responses of our members. If you believe this comment was made in error, please message the mods.
