Yizkor memorial book

Yidishe shṭeṭ

Also written Yidishe shtet · Jewish towns of Lithuania · Liṭe

This Yiddish volume surveys Jewish towns, small towns, and rural settlements in Lithuania, in the historic Lithuania region and modern Lithuania, up to 1918. Written and published in New York in 1991 by the author, its 816 pages suggest a large historical-biographical reference work rather than a single-community memorial book.
