    In this memoir, the author M. Olgin (pseudonym of Moyshe-Yosef Novominsky) describes his1921 trip from America to his hometown, which he refers to merely as B. His birthplace was identified as Buky by examining the passenger list for the ship with which he immigrated to America. The passenger list of the Steamship S. Louis, which arrived in New York on November 4, 1914, lists him as Moische Novomissky. His entry in Wikipedia was updated accordingly. For an English translation, click here.
