My deepest condolences and sorrow for everything and everyone you have lost. My deepest respect for all of you ❤❤❤ i pray to let those who are resting in peace Stay in peace❤❤❤❤ Love from America
I remember German newsreels of Vilnus and Kaunus. I hope the antisemitism is gone along with the Nazis. I hope you get your cemetery and that it is protected by the government.
The material is incorrect. In 1939 Majority of population was Polish (59.7% claimed Polish as their native tongue). Among minorities there were: Belarusians (22.7%), Jews (8.5%), Lithuanians (5.5%) and Russians (3.4%).
Gaddadayna. Cape Tow? If anyone ever reads this, could you please tell me how to find out if there is/was a family named Urbonivicius buried in that cemetery (or elsewhere) or if there are any Jewish families by that name? I am having trouble proving my Jewish roots, thanks to The Holocaust. My grandmother’s came from Vilnius.
This video is created by scammers trying to profit from citizens of Vilnius and the Lithuanian government. Jewish cemetery ceased to exist in 1817. Russian administration paid compensations to jewish community, and built military barracks and a fortres in this place.
The fact that the Sports Centre fell into disrepair and the Government made it a Heritage Centre should act as a message to the Lithuanian Government. To then turn around and plan to develop the old Cemetery area is disrespectful and despicable. Should the Government of the day ignore the request of the thousands of people regardless of Creed or Religion or belief, It shall bring them no favour what so ever. The Video does tend to flower up What really happened between 1939 1945 and the years of Russian control prior to becoming Independent. shalom
That's because lithuania gets paid from the UsA and NATO and the EU...since they're doing so well let's take away all that aid...maybe the Russians will help them again by invading them again...would that suit you...
Have the two counties really prospered as well as they should without the Jewish population as you sarcastically suggest? do t think so un-amazing one. One only needs to review how the persons who survived and left have thrived in other Countries throughout the Free World. Beware, Russia or Mr Putin has vision of greater activity beyond Its current activity and may be looking for a much softer target. Obviously, Poland. Or Lithuania wouldn’t be be included in such a plan. In the unlikely event that such a plan did include these two fine Countries, Israel and the descendants of the Jews who left, would no doubt offer assistance.Shalom G-d bless Israel .
And that's my point.. The Jews have been great contributors to humanity in every nation that they've been in...look at the modern state of Israel a world leader in tech and new startups...and where would Christianity be without the Jews and the Torah and the 10 commandments to lead the way...a world or a nation without the Jews would be a very sad one indeed..
@leonstone4738 The population in question here is a special one. One that has basically had universal male literacy for three thousand years. The country made of such a people should be a successful one. I don't think many people question the intelligence of said people. There are many other questions up for debate as relates to this matter, but that one is settled sir.
@leonstone4738 Israel is shrewdly staying out of this current conflict sir. She has quite good relations with Mr. P If the Baltic states require assistance, I doubt it will come from there.
And who initiated these crimes & murders? So much for culture & religious belief. Humans suffer from jealousy & resentment throughout history. The slaughter of millions leaves a stain & shame on the perpetrators.
When I was child back in the early 1980s I was taught by a Rebbe in school that when the Steipler z"l fell on his face on YK for Va'anachnu Kor'im he davened that Chinuch Atzmai have enough funds...
Interesting to note that in 2015 antisemitism is alive and well in Lithuania. If they destroy the old Jewish cemetery I pray that the Almighty God will teach them a lesson!
No satisfied with killing Jews Lithuanians, Czechs, Germans and Poles disturb, repossess and build over their graveyards. Obviously a new Sports Centre is more important that the saintly rabbis resting in peace!
So an official “Jewish nation-state law” in Israel excludes Palestinians? and an unofficial “Lithuanian nation-state policy” excludes Jews? Whom should I sympathize with? Read article: No rest for the dead: Israel uproots Palestinian graves and history. 9 Nov 2021.
ME GUSTA LA FE JUDIA SE HA MANTENIDO A LO LARGO DE LOS SIGLOS !SU CULTURA Y MUSICA ME LLEGA AL CORAZON SU MUSICA ES BELLA !Y SE HAN MANTENIDO FIRME Y UNIDOS A PESAR DE SIGLOS DE PERSECUCION
I only started listening to this historic address and will continue later; I wish there was a video available to show the Rav's interaction with the photographer who he asked to stop taking pictures as clearly the flashes from that 1950s camera was highly disruptive and he told him "You have taken enough pictures already."
Very powerful speech and rare display of achdus between the Mizrachi yeshiva world and the rest of the yeshiva world to ensure the Torah education of the Chareidi population in Israel during the 1950's.
