Kamenetz-Litowsk (now in Belarus) is situated on the banks of the Leshna River, in the shadow of a 14^th-century fortress tower, the “Sloop”. Various essays in this Yizkor Book describe the thriving pre-1940 Jewish community: the vigorous religious life, various Zionist organizations, the hard-working communal volunteers, an amateur theatre, a self-trained orchestra, and nearby Jewish agricultural colonies. The Jews took great pride in the Kamenetz Yeshiva, a center of advanced Talmud study headed by the renowned Boruch-Ber Leibowitz…The Jewish presence was tragically obliterated by the Nazis during World War II. A necrology lists all the Kamenetz Jews—numbering more than 1700—who perished at their hand. Nothing remains of the centuries-old Jewish community—no living Jew, no trace of the Jewish cemetery. The Jews who had emigrated and the handful who survived the war joined together in the 1960s to memorialize their town and to write this Yizkor Book.
