At the head of the Ghetto stood Dr. Elkhanan Elkes, a distinguished physician who is emerging as a luminous figure in the history of the Holocaust. This Memoir recounts the march of events from the initial German invasion of Lithuania on June 22, 1941 to the final destruction of the Ghetto on July 13-15, 1944. It is based on sources quoted in the text and personal papers in possession of the author. Also included are reproductions of extraordinary water colors and pen- and-ink drawings executed at the time in the Ghetto by the historic Esther Lurie, who served as artist-witness-recorder and visual chronicler to her community.

"A most impressive and touching account of the Kovno tragedy." (Jeshajahu Weinberg, Founding Director, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, DC)
Educated in Lithuania and Switzerland, Dr. Joel Elkes came to England in 1931 and studied medicine at St. Mary's Hospital, London. Beginning in physical chemistry and pharmacology, he moved into psychiatry, and, in 1951, founded the Department of Experimental Psychiatry at the University of Birmingham (UK), the first of its kind in the world. The Department emphasized the continuity between basic laboratory research and clinical psychiatry. Since coming to the United States in 1957, he has built three major research centers for the Brain Sciences as they relate to mental illness. He has contributed significantly to the founding of the new science of Psychopharmacology, a science dealing with the play of chemical influences on mental life, and the place of drugs in the management and treatment of the mentally ill. He is a Founding Fellow and Senior Scholar-in-Residence at the Fetzer Institute, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
