520    "In the 19th century, nearly five million Jews lives in 
       the Pale of Settlement. Most lived in shtetls--Jewish 
       communities connected to larger towns--images of which are
       ingrained in popular imagination as the shtetl Anatevka 
       from Fiddler on the Roof. Brimming with life and tradition,
       family and faith, these shtetls existed in the shadow of 
       their town's oppressive anti-Jewish laws. Not Trochenbrod.
       Trochenbrod was the only freestanding, fully realized 
       Jewish town in history. It began with a few settlers 
       searching for freedom from the Russian Czars' oppressive 
       policies, but over the next 130 years, Trochenbrod grew 
       from a little row of houses to a bustling marketplace. In 
       1942, Trochenbrod vanished. Her residents slaughtered, her
       homes and factories razed to the ground. Yet the Nazis 
       could not destroy the spirit of Trochenbrod, which has 
       lived on in stories and legends about a little piece of 
       heaven hidden deep in the forest..."--Dust cover flap.
