There is a lot of historical research on the Holocaust, but most often the general history of the Holocaust, the activities of the German security police and SD operational and special forces, Lithuanian co-ordination with the Nazis, attention to ghetto history, and a little less attention in the Holocaust province. To date, there has been no publication that not only reveals the massacres of Jews throughout the country, but also the geographical location, although some of the first ones are worth mentioning: two volumes of the Massacres in Lithuania (1941-1944) published in 1965 and 1973: and 1997 Joseph Levinson's Book of Pain. The publication collected photos of monuments from about 190 places, listed Lithuanian cities and towns where Jews lived, and indicated the places of their murder. 2010 The Vilnius Gaon State Jewish Museum and the Austrian Memorial Service Gedenkdienst initiated the project "Atlas of the Holocaust in Lithuania" for education, information dissemination and tourism. The atlas provides collected, structured and concentrated information on all mass murder sites in Lithuania. This type of detailed information, linked to each specific location, has not been available so far - data in various publications of a similar nature have been disaggregated or are still unpublished in the archives. The work made a significant contribution to revealing the course of the Holocaust in Lithuania, which will contribute to the objective illumination and evaluation of these events, the principled perception of the Holocaust in Lithuania. This is an important educational work for us, the employees of the Vilnius Gaon State Jewish Museum. You can purchase the publication "Atlas of the Holocaust in Lithuania" at the branches of the Vilnius Gaon State Jewish Museum: Naugarduko str. 10, Pamėnkalnio str. 12, Pylimo st. 4, Vilnius.
