Annihilation of Lithuanian Jewry

---

Author(s)Efraim Oshry
DescriptionRabbi Oshry's eye-witness account of the Lithuanian religious community's courageous struggle to survive in the Kovno Ghetto. Even in famine, kashruth was kept; even under the threat of death, Torah learning continued; even as Nazis waited by the door, baby boys were circumcised. An astonishing and rare written account. Included also is a brief town-by-town history of Jewish Lithuania and record of its destruction. Illustrated with photographs and complete with index, glossary and maps. Translated from Yiddish by Y. Leiman.
