Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan traveled to Vilna for the second time this year after being invited by the President of the Seimas, the Lithuanian Parliament, to address a special remembrance session of the Parliament and participate in official ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the liquidation of the Vilna ghetto in Lithuania and commemorating the victims of the Holocaust in Lithuania.
These events have particular significance as Lithuania’s leaders continue to recognise their nation’s dark Holocaust past and redouble their commitment towards Holocaust education, remembrance, and fostering tolerance and understanding.
