The book "Frescoes ..." is not a scientific work-monograph, this Book (I and II parts) is about history of the Jews of Belarus. Although Belarus is a country with a young history, but Jews have appeared on these lands long enough. That is why the chain "Jewish communities of Lithuania (not Letuva!), Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Northwestern Territory, Belarus" can and should take a place of honor among the world-famous Jewish communities of Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Poland.
However, for some reason, all authors who write about the history of the Jews, after Polish Jewry, go directly to the Jews of the Russian Empire, forgetting, intentionally or unknowingly, that the latter gathered and grew from the Jews of Lithuania (not Letuva),) and the Crown (and, in part, Ukraine). into the Commonwealth Commonwealth. And how the Jews of Lithuania (Belarus) developed and separated themselves from the Jews of Poland within the Commonwealth, this is what our "Frescoes" ...are about. The book uses memoirs of contemporaries and memoirists, extracts from authentic privileges, letters and other documents of the Grand Duke of Lithuania, the Kings of Poland and the Commonwealth, statistics of historians, researchers and chroniclers. Books of this kind (and, in particular, about Belarusian Jews) were published 20 years ago (see, for example, the books of Prof. E. Ioffe) and are now bibliographically very rare.
