Nitra

Nitra, a city in western Slovakia, was the seat of the Nitra yeshiva, led by Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Ungar and his son-in-law Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl. It was the last functioning yeshiva in German-occupied Europe during the Holocaust; Weissmandl was a central figure in wartime rescue efforts, and the yeshiva was later re-established in the United States.
