The Lithuanian Jewish Community urges the Government to uphold its agreements, honour its international commitments, and preserve the territory of the Šnipiškės Jewish Cemetery as a place of remembrance and respect.

In a reportage on the history and current situation of the Lithuanian Jewish community, journalist Eldad Beck explores the community’s present circumstances, the rise of antisemitism, and the challenges it faces, from the perspective of the President of the Lithuanian Jewish Community, Faina Kukliansky, and other community members.

It includes measures ranging from training for officials and educators to educational programmes, public awareness campaigns, and the renaming of streets.

The court ruling said his public statements had “mocked Jewish people, denigrated them, and encouraged hatred toward the Jewish community.”

The exhibitions include photographs, personal testimonies, artefacts from Lithuanian Jewish communities, including a Torah scroll and a young girl’s memoir.

Unpunished vandals continue to target spaces belonging to the Lithuanian Jewish Community. The state must take concrete measures to combat antisemitism.
