Gravestone of David Littman, in the Jewish cemetery just outside of Spisske Podhradie, Slovakia. The inscription reads:

• A"H = alav hashalom (peace be upon him), indicating that Zeev Littman had passed on at the time of this inscription
• T'N'Z'B'H A standard gravestone inscription (like R.I.P.), it stands for "May his soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life", from I Samuel 25:29.
• The lovely verse praising his character is an acrostic. The first letter of each line is enlarged on the actual inscription, and when read down, it spells his name Isser David. This was not uncommon on gravestones in this time and region.
