Jewish Genealogical Society of Palm Beach County
OPENING MEETING
September 10, 2008
GUEST SPEAKER: Larry Domnitch
Larry Domnitch, author of "The Cantonists: The Jewish Children's Army of the Czar," will review the history of the Cantonist period and discuss his recently published book.
The Cantonist era was a terrifying episode in Jewish history, and one that is etched in the collective memory of the Jewish people. Tsar Nicholas of Russia conscripted thousands of Jewish children some as young as 6 years old into his army for up to 25 years!
Also on the program, an update on the IAJGS Conference held this August in Chicago. Members who attended will report on the latest genealogy news.
