All that is left are the books

"The Jews of Ukmerge have been dead for a long time. All that is left are the books from the local Jewish library. Recently the books have also been taken out of there and brought to a 'Jewish grave' to the RR [Rosenberg] Task Force in Vilna, which does Judenforschung ohne Juden with Jewish brains . . .

"Seven cartons of books were brought here."
