The Russian word Molchadz means to be quiet. During the summer months health seeking visitors came from surrounding areas to enjoy the nearby forests, the lovely river and the quiet community, which was 80% Jewish. The quiet ended when the Nazis marched into Maytchet in 1941. Their gentile neighbors turned on the Jews who had been their friends; many of them became vicious Nazi collaborators. This book, containing primary source material, is a memorial to the Maytchet Jewish community, and should be of great interest to researchers as well as the descendants of this beloved shtetl.
