"Vilna—A Jewish Commun- ity in Times of Glory and in Time of Destruction," an ex- hibit which the Yivo Institute for Jewish Research opened last March in New York, has at- tracted widespread attention and large audiences, the Insti- tute reports. The aim of the YIVO is to present to the American public the unique a n d distinctive character of the Eastern Euro- - pean Jewish community. More than 500 years of Jew- ish life in Vilna played a lead- ing role in the spiritual, eco- nomic and social life of the Jews in Eastern Europe. Vilna was a city in which Jewish ideologies took shape and as such, it played a leading role in the development of the Zion- ist movement and a pioneer role in the history of the Jewish Labor Bund. It was also a key center of Yiddish literature and Yiddish press, and was the home of the Yiddish Scientific Institute, YIVO, and a center of secular and religious schools. This was the important role of Vilna, often called the "Jeru- salem of Lithuania," from the beginning of the 15th century until Sept. 1944 when the last semblance of Jewish life was destroyed by the Nazis. In the exhibition are shown more than 1,000 documents, paintings and memorabilia pre- senting a panorama of Jewish Vilna over a period of five cen- turies. The exhibit will con- tinue to be open ' throughout the summer months at the YIVO building on Fifth Avenue and 86th Street in New York.
