Lithuanian Jewish Communities is a remarkable resource for students of Lithuanian Jewish history and for people descended from Lithuanian Jews. 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. Other appendices provide member lists from Lithuanian Jewish organizations throughout the world and list agencies that will provide help in further research on Lithuanian Jewry. Descendants of Lithuanian Jews who wish to trace their genealogy will be greatly helped by Lithuanian Jewish Communities.

Review,

This review is from: Lithuanian Jewish Communities (Paperback)
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The description and previous reviewer did not due this book justice. It begins with an excellent overview of the history of Eastern Europe and the travels and travails of the Jewish population. The emphasis is on Poland and the Baltic which needs no explanation. Also, with each town listed you get a few details that while not of any depth is interesting.This book was written for those who want to research their family origins. It would be an excellent resource for this.
