Summary:

A history of the Jewish community of Kapčiamiestis (Kopcheve), Lithuania, from the 18th century. Ch. 4 (p. 42-50) describes the fate of the Jews under Nazi occupation. In September 1941 the Jews were resettled to the ghetto of Katkiške, near Lazdijai. In November 1945, 1,535 Jews of the Katkiške ghetto, including 118 from Kapčiamiestis, were killed by the Germans and their Lithuanian collaborators. Pp. 51-53 contain a list of Kapčiamiestis Jews who perished in the Holocaust. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
