This photo was taken during a trip by Percy
Berger, with his son, during the summer of 2001, to revisit his
birthplace.

The old synagogue was built
with the best materials and was known as a beautiful edifice, especially
the inside where, in the tradition of many Lithuanian synagogues, the
ceiling was painted a sky blue with clouds and stars. Today, it is
a City Library. A Wall of Memory Holocaust Memorial to the Jews
who died during the Holocaust was erected and dedicated in the building
on July 13, 2004. (Read a description of
this memorial.)
