Intersection register · custodian, not owner

Nicknamed the 'Jerusalem of Lithuania', Vilna was the heart of the Lithuanian (Litvak) world and the home of the Vilna Gaon, the foremost opponent of Hasidism. A centre of Talmudic study, printing (the Romm press) and secular Yiddish culture, it gave birth to the Bund. Its flourishing community was annihilated in the Holocaust.
