Summary/Abstract: Various personalities who were active in one field or another in Latvia or who achieved fame beyond her borders, have been referred to in the essays of this volume. There were certain sections, such as the account of Riga, in which the persons described constituted an inseparable part of Jewish life. Indeed, it would have been impossible to give an account of Riga Jewry without them. In other cases the city or region merely served as their place of origin; and their activities often took them far from their birthplace. We feel it necessary to include them in this volume too, in order that Latvian Jewry should bear her outstanding sons in mind. Since there is not enough space to supply comprehensive details, the list of sources provided will enable those interested to learn more about them.
