|
|
|
Dem Greeneh Berg (Yiddish) - Žaliakalnis
(Lithuanian) -
Zelyonaya Gora (Russian) -
The Green Hill (English)
.... are all names used to
describe a hillside area of East Central Kaunas. It is near
Downtown Kaunas, just a bit to the north and east of there.
The word "berg" or "barg" in Yiddish means
" "mountain" or "hill." Many
Jews, including a large part of my family, lived there.
Žemaičiu Street is one of
the main ones in this area, a cross street running SW-NE,
from Independence Square, in the direction of the Neris
River. |

Very large version available by contacting
me.
I have a print copy of this entire map and can zoom
in by scan, and show much more detail,
on specific sections of Zaliakalnis,
which also covers a larger area than that shown
above. |

|
|
Cemetery - There is a cemetery
on the hill. Some reports state it is in a state of neglect,
with many tombstones overturned. Need information as to its
exact location. |

Please contact me with details and/or photos. |

|
|
|
|
|

Many members of my
Kamenshchik family lived on the Greeneh Berg. Nechemya Zvi (Chaimas
Girsas in Lithuanian) Kamenshchik was a baker, and served
breads and foodstuffs to the Russian Army during the First
World War. He lived on Žemaičiu Street.
I have extensive information on
Kamenshchik's all throughout Kaunas, including on the
families of the spouses. Additional surnames connected to
Kamenshchik's are: Beliay, Gerszensohn, Rom, (others to be
added) |
