“According to Rachel Kostanian, Executive Director of the Jewish State Museum in Vilnius, a 'Vilnius Record' exists in the Lithuanian State Archives which lists individuals incarcerated in the Vilnius ghetto in 1942. The 14,300 names on the 'record' include birth date, profession, and ghetto address and are grouped by families. The author questions the validity of the profession information due to frequent attempts made by ghetto inhabitants to pass as artisans to increase their chance of survival.” (USHMM)
Volume one lists approximately half of the Vilnius Ghetto prisoners, arranged by dwelling, house and street….Entries in the v. 1 include name, date or year of birth, occupation, and ghetto address [questions have been raised as to the validity of the occupational information due to the frequent attempts made by ghetto inhabitants to pass as artisans so as to increase their chance of survival].” (USHMM)
“Volume two lists inhabitants of the Kailis, Baltoji Voke, Bezdonys, Kena, Riese, "Giesler" (in Pabrade), Petesa, Uztrakis and Voke farmstead Forced Labor Camps…Most entries for v. 2 include name, relationship within the household (ie. head of household, wife, daughter, son, boarder, etc.), date or year of birth, place of birth, religion, occupation and "employer", except for the listings of the Labor Camp in Riese (p. 145-150) which include only name, occupation and "employer."
