Vilnius Old TownWe will follow the traces of Jewish culture in the old town where the Great Jewish Synagogue was built in 1633 and Gaon of Vilnius used to live and study. Through pictures that I had prepated you will see the grandness of that site. You will hear a story about Jewish partisans, their fight and the personal fight of Vilna poets, journalists and artists to save multiple Jewish valuables by hiding them in the ghetto. You will see astonishing pictures of ghetto's hiding places ("malinas") and stand next to the buildings where once many Vilna great people lived and created. We shall also walk into the Choral synagogue, and explore a very old mazzes-making machine there. This tour will give you a good feeling what life was like in Vilna before the atrocities of WWII, and what role the Jewish population had in my home-town and beyond.

Paneriai (Ponar)The Ponary massacre was the mass murder of up to 100,000 people by German SD and SS and their Lithuanian collaborators during World War II. The murders took place between July 1941 and August 1944 near the railway station at Ponary (now Paneriai), a suburb of today's Vilnius, Lithuania. Some 70,000 Jews were murdered at Ponary, along with up to 20,000 Poles, and 8,000 Russians POWs, most of them from nearby Vilna (Vilnius), and its newly-formed Vilna Ghettos.
