Congratulations to Dani Jaff-Klein and Leila Kuper on the launch of Litvak Life: Stories of Jewish Lithuania! We are delighted that the Lost Shtetl Museum could contribute to this wonderful exhibition through photographs and maps.

On October 22, the Lost Shtetl Museum was honoured to welcome Lithuania’s Prime Minister, Mindaugas Sinkevičius.

We are grateful to Alex Bomus for a wonderful recent donation to the museum: three historic photographs of Šeduva — its wooden synagogue, brick synagogue, and former Orthodox church.

At the museum, together with our colleagues and visitors, we read aloud the names of Šeduva’s Jewish residents who were murdered.

The first birthday of the Lost Shtetl Museum was filled with stories, encounters, and special moments.

On September 19–20, we are celebrating the museum’s first anniversary and inviting you to discover the Jewish community that once lived in Šeduva in a very special way.

Remembrance Park has won the top award in “Green Space,” a competition organized by the Lithuanian news portal Lrytas.

On August 25, we gathered in Šeduva to commemorate the Jews of Šeduva who were murdered on August 25–26, 1941. We joined the nationwide Holocaust remembrance initiative “The Road of Memory”.

The Lost Shtetl Museum of Jewish History in Šeduva has acquired the Chaim Frenkel Synagogue in Šiauliai. Built in 1907, the brick building is currently in poor condition, and the museum plans to restore and adapt it for future use. Following reconstruction, the synagogue is expected to resume its original function as an active Jewish house of worship.
