At the bottom of a photograph of my great grandfather is written the word Jurjew.
Jurjew was a small town known also as Dorpat and in to-day Estonia as Tartu. It was famous for its well known liberal University many Jews >from the Baltic region and other places in Russia (and not only) tended to get their higher education as medical doctors, pharmacists, lawyers and other specialties. Tuition was in Russian and German at those days.
