Between 1 and 10 Elul 5702  1942 CE], nearly 14,000 of the town's Jews were slaughtered. Only 14, who hid in caves and among the rocky crags, managed to escape. The extermination was accomplished with a satanic cunning: the first to be slaughtered were the heads of the community, its leaders and intellectuals. Then the young people were deported, never to return, killed in \"labor detachments.\" The rest were locked in the ghetto, tortured, humiliated, and oppressed pitilessly. Stripped of strength of spirit and the ability to carry on, their national and human pride fell prey to unimaginable tortures-and when the bitter day arrived, they were defeated and slaughtered without even trying to mount an active, organized defense. Jewish young people, brave and proud, were plundered by the hands of evildoers. So was destroyed and exterminated a magnificent community, capable and devoted, that wove its thread of existence for 500 years in an area that was a land of contention among Tatars, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Poles, and Russians. Amid all the political perversities, the Jewish community persevered, shaped and strengthened its way of life, lived through times of highs and lows, wrote brilliant pages in the history of Jewish Volhynia, and produced leaders and Torah greats, writers and intellectuals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abraham Samuel Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939561973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939561978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewishgen.Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.25d","brand":"Abraham Samuel Stein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943995212031,"sku":"9781939561978","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_12f6d6bb-e479-477a-a2f6-bf9e5c755be0.jpg?v=1681501183","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memorial-book-of-kremenets-abraham-samuel-stein-9781939561978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
