The Kovno ghetto in Lithuania held 29,000 people, crowded together in a small area with no running water, suffering from hunger, cold and the constant fear of deportation. On October 29, 1941, the German Nazis staged "The Great Action": in one single day, they selected, shot and killed 9,200 individuals, 4,273 of which were children. This was to be the largest mass murder of Lithuanian Jews in history. Never again. #WeRemember | World Jewish Congress

In 1944, as the Nazis intensified their campaign of annihilation, the Kovno Ghetto in Lithuania was emptied, and its inhabitants were sent on the final stage of their tragic journey. On August 15, 1944, a transport of 1,000 Jewish prisoners was dispatched from the ghetto to the infamous Dachau concentration camp. For those aboard, the brutality of forced labor, hunger, and fear had already worn them down, but now they faced an even darker fate: the promise of nothing but suffering and death. Amo

At just 3½ years old, Henia “Henny” Lewin was smuggled out of the Kovno Ghetto in Lithuania, sedated and hidden in a suitcase. She was sheltered for nearly two years by brave strangers who risked their lives to save her. Henny was among the few thousand Jews in Lithuania to survive the Holocaust. She later dedicated her life to teaching students about the Shoah, ensuring these stories are never forgotten. This is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the power of one life saved. 🕯️ Never forget. |
