Remembering Avrohom Fuchs: His 2015 Interview; Miriam Libenson: Tu BeShvat (Replay)

Last week, we received via Facebook the sad news that
Avrohom Fuchs has died at the age of 99. He was
buried in Jerusalem on Jan. 15, 2024. In his memory, we're airing
part of an interview recorded in Jerusalem on Jan. 2, 2015, and
originally aired Jan. 21, 2015. Fuchs, who survived the
Holocaust, including Auschwitz and Ebensee, was a scholar of the
Jewish history of the Carpathian Mountains, as well as a travel
agent and guide who led over 35 tours to the Carpathians for
former residents and their descendents. He wrote a book on the
city of Chust (now Khust, Ukraine) and surrounding towns, as well
as a book on his hometown Shandriff (now Oleksandrivka, Ukraine)
and numerous articles. ‫כּבֿוד זײַן אַנדענק!‬
