here's a fun fact. Vilna was the Jerusalem of Europe. They slaughtered 100, 000 people at the Ponnary. The Nazis had lots of help by the local population. The later jewish cemetary is covered by the soviets with a sports stadium as in many locations. To mention the fun of these locations and history, but not the major locations where this happened is wrong. I also don't suggest picnicking at the Babi Year ravine and forgetting about it either.
My great great grandparents and nine of their adult kids and all of their families were slaughtered there. Two siblings made it to the United States in 1908.
Vilna was Polish, then Russian and now is Lithuania. The modern day citizens are enjoying the farms and businesses of my family and the architecture developed and paid for by the Jews.
When you are in Berlin, Poland, the baltic states etc, you can educate your kids on what the real history is all about. Figure out what percentage of Vilnas population was executed before you go dance on their graves.

I was told all my life that my ancestors came from Poland. A couple of years ago, I came across my great grandfathers draft card and it said his birthplace was Wilna, Poland. Not knowing where that was, I looked it up and had a hard time finding it. Eventually I found out that it is no longer Wilna, Poland but Vilnius, Lithuania. Would be nice to go there and see the land of my ancestors even though it is no longer Poland.

I'm Lithuanian, but I've lived in the US for all my life (adopted, and I yearn to go back to learn my roots. I've visited before when I was young, but I hope to come back.

I'm surprised you didn't show any pictures up on the hill. The views from up there are absolutely gorgeous. I loved Vilnius and I went there in the dead of winter.

Good idea is to go from Vilnius to Kaunas. Then take boat trip to Nida (amazing trip not to long and can see many beautify nature) and from Nida to Klaipeda many buses

Wondering if anyone can help me out. Is it cheaper to pay for a hotel/hostel upfront when we arrive or beforehand in the Uk? Thanks in advance?
