There Once Was a World: A 900-Year Chronicle of The Shtetl of Eishyshok -by- Yaffa Eliach. Jewish History. The Holocaust. A well-researched saga of nine centuries of Eastern European Jewish life. The author illuminates the early history of Lithuania, the last pagan country in Europe and one in which Jews lived on equal terms with the rest of the population.
