Today, I pay tribute to the brave men, women, and children who lived and perished in the Vilna Ghetto during WWII.
A Brief History:
Established in 1941, the Vilna Ghetto was home to approximately 40,000 Jews.
Despite unimaginable hardships, the ghetto became a beacon of cultural and intellectual resilience. Tragically, in 1943, the Nazis liquidated the ghetto, deporting thousands to concentration camps. A courageous uprising followed, but ultimately, the ghetto was destroyed.
Let's honor the memories of those who suffered and perished, including the many South African Jews who trace their heritage back to Vilna.
May their stories, strength, and sacrifices never be forgotten.
