GRUZD SHTETL

THE STORY OF GRUZDŽIAI JEWS

"Gruzd Shtetl" is the Yidish name by which the Gruzdžiai Jews called their home. This is the story of the Jewish community that flourished in Gruzdžiai for centuries: the people, the culture, and the footprints of Gruzd Shtetl - the memory of them must not be erased.

The men of Gruzdžiai Jewish Community in front of the Sinagogue, circa 1938

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
