Abstract:
According to Rachel Kostanian, Executive Director of the Jewish State Museum in Vilnius, a 'Vilnius Record' exists in the Lithuanian State Archives which lists individuals incarcerated in the Vilnius ghetto in 1942. The 14,300 names on the 'record' include birth date, profession, and ghetto address and are grouped by families. The author questions the validity of the profession information due to the frequent attempts made by ghetto inhabitants to pass as artisans to increase their chance of survival.
