Our gratitude goes to:

• Birute Maiksteniene, our translator. She introduced us to local people who could help us.

• Maury Handel restorer of the Igdal photo collection

• The jounalists Janina Vansauskiene and Algis Padora and Nijole Padoriene and our utmost gratutude goes to

• Zenonas Gegeckas who gave us a lot of useful information concerning the Jewish history of Pakruojis. He happened to be an eye-witness (the day after) of the murdering of the Jewish women and children at Morkakalnis in August 1941 though he didn't see the atrocious killings at the moment itself, the next day there was enough to be seen to get thorough impressions of what had happened there. At that time he was about 10 years old.

• Monty Kramer, Israel, a resident of Pakruojis before 1941.

• Frieda Igdal whose mother Ruth Shapiro Igdal was a resident of Pakruojis before 1941.

•     And above all Ruth Shapiro Igdal

Without the help of all these wonderful people this documentary wouldn't have seen the light
