The virtual exhibition features documents from the collections stored in the Lithuanian Special Archives, namely, officers of the occupation administration, members of the Vilnius special unit, self-defense police battalions, Vilnius police officers, officials and police officers of the Vilnius ghetto administration, as well as gestapo agents.

The exhibition also includes testimonies of former ghetto prisoners who escaped death, documents about mass massacre of Jews in Paneriai and investigation of the massacre, Vilnius ghetto resistance organizations and other anti-Nazi structures in the Lithuanian, German, and Russian languages along with photographs.

After the Vilnius ghetto was liquidated on September 23, 1643, merely 2,000 to 3,000 people of the pre-war Jewish community of more than 58,000 survived in Vilnius.
