Dear EGL,

I am a relative of Franya Winters, an actress in prewar Vilna. When I was in Vilnius recently I found that there was a lot of interest in her. I found, among many treasures left behind by my aunt, a book "Twenty-One and One: Twenty-One Yiddish Actors Murdered by Nazis in Vilna 1941-1942". My cousin is included in this on page 26.

I've found your site very useful in my own research and I thought that this book may be valuable to anyone researching the history of the Vilna Theater. I have attached a copy of the book, divided into part one and two for ease of downloading.

Unfortunately, it is written in Yiddish, which I do not read. As a child, I was told that the chapter on my cousin was too brutal to translate for me, so I don't know what it says.

I hope that this is useful. Please let me know if you would like the hard copy.

Best regards,

Meryl Frank
