Petition update
Fate of Old Vilna Jewish Cemetery in Hands of Lithuania's Gov. & Parliament...
Dec 13, 2020 —
Lithuania's Government is considering whether or not to spend 27 million euros on an abominable convention center project right in the middle of the Old Vilna Jewish Cemetery.
If you can, please email Lithuania's government (at: LRVkanceliarija@lrv.lt) to tell them politely what you think.
