[gwuscrc]

An early 19th-century book of penitential prayers recited communally before the Jewish High Holidays. Published in Vilna (Vilnius) and Grodno by a member of the Romm family, the prayer book follows the observances of Lithuanian Jews.

This volume bears an “Archival Depot Offenbach” stamp testifying to its inclusion in the U.S. Army’s postwar efforts toward the restitution of Nazi-looted cultural property.
