  1. Hello,
    I am doing a research project on Samuel's father, Schya Chazen and descendants. I would very much like to read Samuel's autobiography (I can't read Yiddish, but would find someone to read it to me if it has not been translated into English.)
    Could you please tell me where I might be able to access this book?
    Many thanks for any help you can provide.

  2. It's going to be tough without Yiddish, but check WorldCat.
