I'm glad you are working for better understanding of the Holocaust with today's youth. My husband & I lived near Kassel, Germany in the late 60's for 2 yrs. We visited a concentration camp and it was very hard to see how the people were treated. I can only wish it will never happen again & there could be peace in the world!! I worked at the pharmacy, 1998-2006 and you were always so nice when you came in. Best wishes always, and keep up your meaningful mission...

My great grandmother's name was Barbara Enright. I need to know if Enright was originally a Jewish name. Other grandparent names were Hoffman, Williams and Frings. Are any of these names Jewish? I appreciate your help. Thank you. Joanne Annecchini Hello,

However, there is an error in the story (you mentioned "the oldest Temple west of the Mississippi") and another important part of the story is actually just 2 hours west of St. Louis in Jefferson City. That is the home of Temple Beth El, the oldest synagogue west of the Mississippi in continuous use in the same location. We have been at 318 Monroe St. in Downtown Jefferson City since 1883 when a group of local Jewish businessowners and their wives decided to start a temple. Please vist the website that I have listed above for lots more info. We have services every Friday, and despite having a small Jewish commumity and lay-led services, we are celebrating out 125th Anniversary this year, starting with a Community Open House that was well-received my residents and even the churches in town. If there are any questions or you'd like to profile us, feel free to contact myself or another member listed on the webpage. Thanks again for the excellent program!

"Kovno" is the Russianized form of Kaunas. In case anyone is trying to find “Kovno” on a map – they won’t. “Kovno” is the Russianized form of Kaunas.
