X-No-archive: yes
This week's excerpt is from the Yizkor book of Podhajce, a town in
Ukraine about 30 miles northeast of Stanislawow. The passage is from
a long chapter titled "Experiences and Figures from the Recent Past"
by Dr. Baruch Milch. In it, he talks about the custom of giving a
nickname to almost all residents of the town.
