This volume lists, in alphabetical order, the major Jewish communities that existed in Lithuania before World War II. The name of each community is accompanied by information about it: when it was founded, the Jewish population in different years, shops and synagogues, and the names of citizens. An appendix locates each town on a map of Lithuania. Since most of the Jewish communities in Lithuania were destroyed in the Holocaust, this volume will be a valuable tool in recreating a picture of Lithuanian Jewry.

This book highlights the Holocaust-related research of the historian, archeologist, and professor, Rabbi Richard A. Freund. Richard was a pioneering force in non-invasive archaeology, wherein geophysical techniques adapted from the oil and gas industry are used at Holocaust sites to collect data used in concert with testimony and archival research to write or rewrite the history of the Holocaust. The chapters’ authors span the breath of Holocaust studies and science, and include geophysicists who are experts in applying geophysical techniques in a historical context, geographers skilled in mapping and spatial analysis, filmmakers and film students, archaeologists that focus on the Holocaust, and academics specializing in Judaic studies, Jewish life and the Holocaust. It is comprehensive but non-technical and is a resource for anyone interested in melding science with history and uncovering the often lost or hidden aspects of the Holocaust.

Excerpt: Telshe yeshiva was a famous Eastern European yeshiva founded in the Lithuanian town of Tel iai. After World War II the yeshiva relocated to Wickliffe, Ohio, in the United States and is currently known as the Rabbinical College of Telshe, (commonly referred to as Telz Yeshiva or Telz in short.) It is one of the most prominent Haredi institutions of Torah study. The yeshiva was founded in 1875 in the town of Tel iai ("Telshe" in Russian or "Telz" in Yiddish) to provide for the religious educational needs of young Jewish men in Telshe and its surrounding towns. The yeshiva was established by three important Orthodox rabbis and Talmudists-Rabbi Meir Atlas, later the Rabbi of Shavel (the Yiddish name for iauliai) and the father-in-law of Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman; Rabbi Zvi Yaakov Oppenheim, who later became the Rabbi of Kelm; and Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Abel, the brother-in-law of Rabbi Shimon Shkop. They received financial assistance from a Jewish banker in Berlin, Mr. Ovadyah Lachman. Rabbi Eliezer GordonThe file File: Rabbi Eliezer...
