"Mi'yarkete Tsafon" ("From the Ends of the Earth") - memoirs of Gitta Langleben-Klibansky
I want to announce publication of a new book "Mi'yarkete Tsafon" ("From the
Ends of the Earth")  - memoirs of Gitta Langleben-Klibansky (in
Hebrew). The book chronicles Gitta's expulsion from Kovno a few days before
the Nazi invasion of Lithuania and her deportation to one of the most
northerly areas of Siberia at the Arctic Circle. The unique and
thrilling account illuminates aspects of the Second World War that are
generally unknown to typical readers and even to Holocaust researchers.

This book can be of interest to the LitvakSIG audience for the author's
vivid description of her life in a traditional family in Lithuania in
the 1920s and 1930s, her studies at the "Schwabbe" Hebrew Gymnasium in
Kovno, and the dramatic turn in her life as a result of the Soviet
occupation of Lithuania in 1940. In the appendix of her book, Gitta
added the memoirs of her late husband, which stretch from his birth in
Keidan and his expulsion together with all the Kovno Gubernia Jews to
Russia in 1915 to his life in Lithuania in the interwar period. This
book (hard cover, 408 pp.) also contains two genealogical charts of
the families Langleben and Klibansky.

The book can be ordered from Gitta's son, Ben-Tsion Klibansky, who
is also the editor of the book,, e-mail: bentsion@013.net
