Gurevitch, Fruma, A Physician's Memoirs:  With Lithuanian Jews During the Holocaust, 1981 (Hebrew)

Dr. Fruma Gurevich (née Brojde).

Dr. Gurevich's book "Memoirs of a Physician: With Lithuanian Jews During the Holocaust" was published by the Ghetto Fighters' House Museum and Kibbutz Ha-Mehuhad in 1981.

Dr. Fruma Gurevitz, née Brojde, writes down in her book the memories of her studies during the years of the revolution and the civil war in Russia, and describes her work as a physician in a Lithuanian town in the period between the two world wars. Years of terror in the Kovno ghetto are also revealed, her efforts to save her daughters and her struggle - after the Holocaust – to help her surviving family members to make aliyah to Israel. She made aliyah in her 70s, and in Israel continued to study and complement her medical achievements, as well as helping the children and friends of Kibbutz Lohamei Haghetaot, her home.

Dr. Gurevitz devoted her time and energy to nurturing her ties with Lithuanian Righteous Among the Nations, who risked themselves to save her and her daughters. She also made sure to connect with several hundred Lithuanian immigrants who were rescued thanks to the risks taken by Lithuanian-Christians, and called on them not to forget their debt to their rescuers. With the help of the "Association of Jews from Lithuania," packages, gifts and letters of appreciation were sent to these Righteous Among the Nations.

After the Leningrad trial, Dr. Gurevitz started an exchange of letters with many prisoners of Zion, and those who were denied the right to make aliyah to Israel from the Soviet Union, sending them dictionaries, albums and information materials about life in the country.
