Re “To emigrate or not,” by Dan Rottenberg—
Fascinating ought-to-biography. Would make a top notch musical.
Except there’s no explanation of their patronym, Rottenberg. Maybe they
were sneering silently at the defective mountain of their nearby Russian
Orthodox neigh-boors.

Editor’s comment: The Marianskys of Suwalki Gubernia in Russia
were my maternal grandfather’s family. The Rottenbergs were Hungarians,
with roots going back to the 13th Century German rabbi Meir of
Rothenburg.
