The Holocaust in Vilkaviskis 6
"The Living Memorial & The Honor Roll."
"Preserving history requires more than digital pages; it requires a place where the community can gather and remember. In collaboration with the Vilkaviškis City Council, we designed and installed a permanent memorial stand to ensure these names are etched into the local landscape forever."
Planning the project with the Mayor and town council
