Pt. 1 (pp. 1-173), "The Kovno Ghetto, 1941-1944", is a history and memoir by Oshry, a former student at the Slobodka Yeshiva. Figured prominently are many great Torah scholars, as well as simple Jews (including children) whose spiritual resistance to the Nazis included devotion to religious practice to the point of martyrdom. Oshry, a rabbi, survived until liberation in a hidden bunker for 38 days. Pt. 2 (pp. 178-291), "The Annihilation of Lithuanian Jewry: The Cities and Towns of Jewish Lithuania", provides short histories of 47 communities, with a focus on their outstanding religious personalities and institutions, and an account of the destruction of each of these communities and almost all of their inhabitants during the Holocaust.
