This is a book for everyone interested in the history of Vilnius and Jewish Vilna and the many personalities the city gave to the world, those who built the city and fostered its culture. The book by Genrich Agronovski is ideally suited for use as a personal guidebook on an individual tour of the city, with little-known information about almost every part of the urban landscape and those who lived here. Many years of research by the author have gone into making this unique guide to the lost city of Vilna. It makes no pretense of being academic, and is accessible to everyone and written in an easy-to-read style. 

The growing demand in recent times for more information about the Jewish history of Lithuania and specifically the rich Jewish heritage of Vilnius is satisfied by Agranovski's work in the Russian language, and points to the need for translation into English and Lithuanian. 

The book is on sale at the Lithuanian Jewish Community, Pylimo street No. 4, Vilnius. The cost is 48 litas, or 13.90 euros.
