Vilnius Yiddish Institute
The Vilnius Yiddish Institute was founded in 2001 and today occupies a two-level headquarters in the
corner of a courtyard at Vilnius University. It houses a working library, presided over by Fania Brantsovsky, offers a summer program in Yiddish, mounts linguistic and cultural research expeditions to seek out and record the last remaining shtetl Jews and has become an important address for the study of Yiddish and pre-war Eastern European Jewish life.
