Rediscovery Trip to Lithuania
by Rabbi Nosson Zev Grossman

Almost a year has passed since that wonderful voyage of discovery to the roots of the yeshiva world in Lithuania, organized by the yeshiva Ahavas Torah-Baranowitz of Yerushalayim, led by HaRav Elchonon Baron. The trip was graced with the presence of several senior talmidei chachomim who have personal memories of those roots, including HaRav Leib Baron, the nosi of the yeshiva. The voyage was chronicled, so that we can all participate, to some extent, in the voyage and the lessons it has for us today.

My Experiences in Auschwitz
by Erika (Yittel) Rothschild, o'h -- 1925- 1999

The material included here displays the dignity and power of emunas Yisroel as it confronted the extremes of horror and degradation. It contains material that is very moving.

Readers are cautioned about reading this article on Shabbos. On the one hand, it discusses events and experiences that are painful to read. On the other, its real message is one of one of emunah and hope. Competent halachic guidance should be sought before reading it on Shabbos. It is certainly in keeping with the spirit of the upcoming period of troubles that begins with Shiva Asar BeTammuz.
