January 2024 at the Gaon Museum in Vilna

Each month, the museum highlights certain objects from its collection. This month, they are books found on Jews killed in Kaunas during the Second World War. These are very old books, probably dating from the turn of the 17th century. They were first kept in the museum after the war, before being placed in the central archives, and finally returned to the museum in 1992 at the end of the Soviet era.
