The Pinkas of the Chevra Kadisha of Slutsk The pinkas of the chevra kadisha of Slutsk (53°01'N/27°33'E) is one of the largest-if not the largest-to survive the Holocaust, both in number of pages and in years covered. Jews were mentioned as having been in Slutsk as early as 1583, but this early reference may have been merely to traders passing through the town. Although we do not know how many Jewish cemeteries existed in Slutsk before the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917, the pinkas appears to refer only to one that was located toward the southern end of the town within a loop made by the Sluch River and to the east of it. www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org /slutsk/ChevraKadisha.html   (4556 words)
