Before the #Holocaust, Lithuania was home to a vibrant Jewish world, a center of learning, culture and faith with centuries of Jewish life. But that world was shattered as over 90 percent of Lithuanian Jewry was murdered, a destruction that reached one of its final chapters #OnThisDay in 1943, when the Nazis liquidated the Vilna Ghetto.
