Dating problem[edit]

The article says:

As the Nazi armies continued to push to the east, the yeshiva as a whole eventually fled across Siberia by train to the Far East, en route to the USA. However, by the time they reached Japan travel to the USA was no longer feasible, as the two countries were by then at war with each other. The yeshiva reopened in Kobe, Japan in March 1941.

There's a problem with the dates here -- the US and Japan were not at war with each other in March of 1941 -- they wouldn't be until December. --Jfruh (talk) 19:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Why was the title of this page changed to something so anachronistic? The yeshiva was never in Belarus, a country which came into existence five decades after the yeshiva left. the previous title Mir yeshiva (Poland) made much more sense. --Redaktor (talk) 09:53, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
