Stop At: Vilnius Old Town, Vilnius 01129 Lithuania
During the 3.5-hour walking tour around the two Vilnius ghettos we shall follow the traces of Jewish culture in the old town where the Great synagogue was built and Gaon of Vilnius used to live. You will hear a story about the manifesto and the fight of Jewish partisans. We shall walk into the Choral synagogue, and explore a very old mazzes-making machine there.
Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes
Stop At: Paneriai (Ponar), Agrastu 17, Vilnius Lithuania
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.
