Josef Rosin's "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage" is a monumental work
documenting the history of 31 Jewish communities in Lithuanaia from
their inception to their total destruction in 1941 at the hands of
the Nazis and their Lithuania helpers. Rosin gathered his material
from traditional sources, archives, public records, and remembrance
books. He has enriched and enhanced the entry for each community
with personal memoirs and contributions from widely dispersed
survivors who opened family albums and shared treasured photographs
of family and friends. He made use of sources originally written in
Hebrew, Yiddish, Lithuanian, German and Russian. In over 700 pages,
Rosin documents each community from its beginning until World War
I, through the years of Independent Lithuania (1918-1940), and
finally during the indescribable Nazi annihilation of nearly all of
Lithuanian Jewry. Most impressive is the record of cultural
richness, the important town personalities, the welfare
institutions, the glorious Hebrew educational system of the Tarbuth
elementary schools and the Yavneh high schools, the world famous
Telz and Ponevezh Yeshivoth (in the towns of Telsiai and
Panevezys), the Yiddish press and other significant events of the
period. Rosin has provided a documentary and a testament to once
vibrant communities almost totally destroyed but which come alive
again in the pages of this book. 736 page, Hard Cover. List of
