Miselevičiūtė Chana Rivka

Chana Rivka Miselevičiūtė (1910–?) was born in Raseiniai. In this city, she graduated from a primary school: the language of instruction was Russian. Later on, she entered a Jewish gymnasium in Raseiniai and successfully passed the final exams in 1929. In 1929, she submitted an application to the History Department of the Faculty of Humanities of Vytautas Magnus University (at that time – the University of Lithuania). For reasons unspecified, she changed the application in the same year and entered the Department of Philology of the Faculty of Humanities. She stopped her studies for unspecified family reasons, resuming them in 1931. After completing four semesters, she had to terminate the studies again due to a lack of funds. In 1939, she received the title of a primary school teacher and started working as a primary school teacher in Vilnius in December of the same year. In the autumn of 1940, she requested to continue her studies in philology (English studies) at the Faculty of Humanities of Vilnius University, asking to be included in the “pedagogy group”. She studied there for a year. On 19 September 1941, she was expelled from the university on the basis of the Order of 17 September 1941 of the Higher Education Department of the Board of Education, under the authority of the National Socialists. According to the Yad Vashem Holocaust victim database, it can be assumed she was killed in the Holocaust.
