These maps provide a conceptual framework for the urban geography of Jewish Vilna during the 1930s as depicted in Abraham Karpinowitz’s stories. We have transliterated the place names used by Karpinowitz’s characters, rather than using the place names on contemporary maps. Because accurate records of the urban geography of 1930s Vilna are not readily available, we have estimated some locations. There are some locations we could not find.
