I would like to remember what my grandfather, Jonas Noreika, did eighty years ago during the Shoah in Lithuania throughout this week that is leading up to International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2021, by focusing on only seven of the documents he signed in 1941.

During his tenure as District Chief of the Siauliai Region from August 1941 to March 1943, Jonas Noreika signed at least 68 known documents that profoundly impacted Jews during the Holocaust.  The documents can be found here.
