about Green House
The Holocaust exhibition, which is also called “Green House”, is located near the center of Vilnius at Pamenkalnio str. 12. It is one branch of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum.
The seven rooms of the museum tell the story of the once flourishing Jewish community in Lithuania (“Litvak” community) from the times of the grand duchy of Lithuania, until their tragic death in the 20th century. The main focus of the exhibition is on the Holocaust.
Renovated in 2010, the whole exhibition is in English and Lithuanian and includes many new documents, new exhibits and audio-visual material, such as testimonies.

My son and I visited the Green House at the end of May 2011 and were most impressed by the exhibits. It isn't easy to find, being located at the top of a hill off the main road, but is well worth the effort, A plaque and a monument outside pay tribute to Chiune Sempo Sugihara, the Japanese consul in Kaunas (Kovno), who jeopardized his career by issuing thousands of transit visas to desperate Jews fleeing the Nazis in 1940. Those visas enabled them to cross Russia by train and find sanctuary in Japan.
