Abstract:
- Entries include date of birth, profession and ghetto address.
- Cataloging information derived from a circular distributed by Howard Margol. According to Mr. Margol, he got the description of the records from Rachel Kostanian, the Executive Director of the Jewish State Museum in Vilnius. Mr. Margol notes that information about professions in the listing may be inaccurate because survival in the ghetto often depended upon having a skill that was considered useful. Therefore many Jews tried to pass themselves off as artisans.
