After the book "The Shtetl of Musnik" was published in English, the
Musnik community came together to publish this harrowing story of their
past into the Lithuanian language.
"On Wednesday August 27, 1941, the police and Lithuanian partisans
evicted all the Jews of Musnik from their homes and on September 5,
1941, the partisans and police took all the Jews of Musnik (Musninkai)
together with the Jews of Sirvintos and Gelvonai and the surrounding
farms - men, women, and children - and shot them in the ditches of
Pivonia near Vilkomir. This was the tragic end of the Jewish community
of Musnik and of the Jewish communities of the Vilkomir Region of
Lithuania."
In addition to the Lithuanian edition, the Musnik community has created
a dramatic video of their city today and its Jewish history, which it
went public with this week.
