The latitude and longitude of the find are 48°31.2´N and 17°23.9´E, respectively. The meteorite was slightly weathered (weathering grade W1) and its total mass was 13.95 kg. The bulk chemical composition is dominated by iron (88.7 wt%) and nickel (8.10 wt%). This, along with concentration of Ga (1.80 µg/g), Ge (< 0.7 µg/g), and Ir (1.67 µg/g), suggest the meteorite being a IVA iron. Based on lamellae width of kamacite (average of 0.22 mm), the meteorite can be classified as fine octahedrite (Of). -

Endelman, Co-Chair Associate Professor Brian A. Porter-Sz űcs, Co-Chair Professor Zvi Y. Gitelman Professor Piotr J. Wróbel, University of Toronto This dissertation is dedicated to my parents and Ari ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am greatly appreciative of the help and encouragement I have received during the last seven years at the University of Michigan. I have been fortunate to learn from the best scholars in the field. Particular gratitude goes to my supervisors Todd M. Endelman and Brian A. Porter-Sz űcs without whom this dissertation could not have been written. I am also thankful to my advisor Zvi Y. Gitelman who encouraged me to apply to the University of Michigan graduate program in the first place and who supported me in my scholarly endeavors ever since. I am also grateful to Piotr J. Wróbel from the University of Toronto for his invaluable revisions and suggestions. Special thanks go to the Department of History, the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, and the Center of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Michigan. Without their financial support, I would not have been able to complete the program. I also want to thank the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture in New York, the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Foundation in Ann Arbor, the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York, and the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC for their grants.
