The Jewish community of Eišiškes (Yiddish: Eishishok), Lithuania, which datedback to the 11th century, came to a sudden end in the Fall of 1941. On September22, Jewish men aged 18-40 were taken from the market and synagogue, brought tothe old cemetery, forced to lie in pits, and shot. The following day, women, children, andold people were shot, as well as Jews brought from other towns.Jews here had once numbered 75% of the population. They traded in wood, cattle, andgrain, ran restaurants, bakeries, inns, and stores. They opened mills, factories, and leatherand fur workshops. The community boasted three prayer houses, several chedarim andyeshivot, a girls’ private school, and, in the 1920s, a Hebrew school. Cultural, sports, andZionist clubs flourished, along with a library, recreation areas, children’s camps,live theatre, and even a cinema.What was life here like, before and during the Holocaust? For the first time in Englishtranslation, the words of survivors and emigres bring Jewish Eishishok back to life.
