ODESSA, TEXAS - Black and white photographs show a small Lithuanian village in the 1930s. People gather in front of a school building and one of the faces in the crowd is that of Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan, one of the founders of Judaism’s Modern Orthodox movement. Kagan died in 1933 and Nazis killed the Jews in the village in 1942.
Midlander Dr. Frank Kasman, a retired dentist, will present photos and information about the village of Radin at 6:30 p.m. Monday during a memorial service for Holocaust Remembrance Day. The ceremony will be held in the student union inside the Mesa Building at UTPB. Along with Kasman’s presentation, the event will include the reading of names of Jews, Gypsies and others killed during the Holocaust and the lighting of candles in their memory. A reception will follow.
