    Report by Abel and Glenda Levitt, November

    While in Lithuania last week we spent a fascinating 4 days in Birzai, known to the Jews who lived there as Birzh.

    On 8th August the Jews of the town were marched to the forest where they were all murdered, Men, Women and Children.

    There exists in Birzai an ancient Karaite and Jewish cemetery. For years it remained neglected and uncared for.
