His book Churban Lita is worth reading for its portrayal of the local characters and rabbonim in Lita.<br />Rav Walkin was from Pinsk in Polesia (nor was he a shtot rav prior to the War)not from the Lithuanian Republic. Of course there were some rabbis from Lita who came to the USA and Israel before 1939. My point is that from all the rabbonim in LIta who functioned as rav, dayan, magid etc only 1 rav Kahanman survived and that because he was in South Africa fund raising when the war broke out. This clearly portrys the devisattion that was Lita !schneurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-5523551092910369942010-02-08T03:34:25.980-05:002010-02-08T03:34:25.980-05:00No idea, sorry.

This photo is one of them. There are mostly from Ukraine, thus you have Slavuta, Letichev, Polnoye, Berditchev and etc. Letichev is pretty known as a major shtetl in Ukraine. So I wouldn't say it's "unknown" at all. Of course it's known by those who are interested in Yiddishkayt of the Russishe/Ukrainishe Yidden. Most Hungarians seem to ignore this history.<br /><br />A gut Shabes!Shmerlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404784573198104036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-39098920916125176722010-02-05T13:54:27.391-05:002010-02-05T13:54:27.391-05:00Lipovitzer
