As far as in 2011, the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum initiated and started a long-term virtual project „The Lithuanian Jewish Communities in the Face of the Holocaust: (Un)Forgotten Names and Fates". 

 

The aim of the project is to revive and preserve the memory of Jews - Lithuanian citizens - and also of the Jews communities that were destroyed during the Holocaust. The project is supported by the office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania.

 

It has been the first attemp to immortalise the memory of the annihilated Lithuanian Jewish communities by the gathering archival, oral and all other information available. The words "Holocaust victims" should be understood not as a statistical unit but as real people, who contributed to the welfare of their country - Lithuanian.

 

The project website in Lithuanian and English enables the visitors not only to find information, but also allows them to contribute to the site.
