Holocaust victims to be commemorated at massacre site near Vilnius 2021-04-08 BNS/TBT Staff VILNIUS – A symbolic commemorative event will be held in Paneriai, a suburb of Vilnius where tens of thousands of Jews were killed during the Holocaust, to mark the Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day on Thursday.  Members of the local Jewish community, diplomats and Vilnius Ghetto survivors will lay pebbles and flowers at monuments and mass killing pits. All the required coronavirus safety precautions will be in place for the event at the Paneriai Memorial Museum, the community said. Traditionally on this occasion, we would hold a March of the Living along the same route the victims took from Paneriai Railway Station to the Paneriai Memorial, but the commemoration will not be massive this year because of the pandemic situation, Faina Kukliansky, chairwoman of the Lithuanian Jewish Community (LJC), told BNS.
