Lithuania: 76 years since the liquidation of the Vilnius ghetto

Lithuania commemorates Monday, September 23, the liquidation of the Vilnius ghetto. It was 76 years ago. The country had about 200,000 Jews before the start of the Second World War, but almost the entire community was decimated during the conflict during the German occupation.
