Most of the other letters appear to be in German, Polish, or Hebrew, but in such small script it is very difficult to decipher. This one, however, completely stumps me.

Yiddish OCR programs are called Yeshivot, and you can find them in certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Monsey NY, Lakewood NJ ...

Thanks all! It should have been obvious to me given my family background 
I'm no longer in the NYC area, I may have some resources here in Minnesota. I have some photos of my grandfather standing next to cemetery stones in Hebrew - somewhere in Europe. Given the picture I assume post-War, but not sure.
I love this site!

This is not stamp related, but knowing the vast knowledge of the members I thought I would post this here. This is a portion of a letter that is part of a package of letters from my grandparents. I cannot even begin to identify, much less translate the script. The top line appears identifies a city near Lviv in the Ukraine. The rest appears to be written either right to left or as a mirror image.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
