This volume lists, in alphabetical order, the major Jewish communities that existed in Lithuania before World War II. The name of each community is accompanied by information about it: when it was founded, the Jewish population in different years, shops and synagogues, and the names of citizens. An appendix locates each town on a map of Lithuania. Since most of the Jewish communities in Lithuania were destroyed in the Holocaust, this volume will be a valuable tool in recreating a picture of Lithuanian Jewry.

August 26, 1945: Lotty Veffer arrived in Amsterdam. She was the only member of her family to have survived the war. Her parents and younger sister Carla had been gassed in Sobibor. There was no heartfelt welcome for her, and eventually she was forced to spend her first night back "home" in Amsterdam on a park bench on the Apollolaan. In September 2017, the ninety-six-year-old Lotty was honored with her own monument, a bench on the exact same spot where she had spent that first night. Lotty passed away on July 27, 2018. In Amsterdam alone there are more than eighty monuments created to remember the Holocaust. There are still many more locations that tell parts of the story: buildings, squares, and streets that were once silent witnesses to the darkest page in the city's history. The ninety-five vignettes in Lotty's Bench explore these monuments and locations to make clear how inextricably Amsterdam's history is linked to the persecution of its Jews.
