Jewish historical sites in modern day Vilnius (Hebrew: Vilna), the capital of Lithuania, are an endangered species. This video examines the history - and the plight - of Vilna’s Old Jewish Cemetery, affectionately called “Piramont” and “Der Alter Beys Eylem” by Vilna’s pre-World War II Jewish community. The video features an appeal to the Lithuanian government by Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.

We are indebted to the Kestenbaum and Frankel families for

We are also deeply grateful to the many donors who prefer to

וכל מי שעוסקים בצרכי צבור באמונה
הקדוש ברוך הוא ישלם שכרם
ויסיר מהם כל מחלה וירפא לכל גופם
וישלח ברכה והצלחה בכל מעשה ידיהם
