| Keywords: circle round text Synagogue of Lubavitcher Hasidim. Vilna. Vilna Street, private house number 21. The Lubavitcher Hasidim are adherents of a Hasidic movement known as Chabad (also known as Lubavitch and Chabad-Lubavitch). The word “Chabad” is a Hebrew acronym for “Chochmah, Binah, Da’at” which translates to “Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge.” This movement was founded in Liozna in 1775 (this town was in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the time, and is now in Belarus) by the Orthodox Rabbi Schneur Zalman. Today it is headquartered in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
